Hi @ChristineDeKock !

From our previous meeting:

TODOs:

• Create a placeholder for the project on meta.
• Check WikiProject relaibility related templates and select few of them to work with.

Additional readings:

• Keegan, Brian, Darren Gergle, and Noshir Contractor. "Do editors or articles drive collaboration? Multilevel statistical network analysis of Wikipedia coauthorship." Proceedings of the ACM 2012 conference on computer supported cooperative work. 2012.
• Sepehri Rad, Hoda, et al. "Leveraging editor collaboration patterns in Wikipedia." Proceedings of the 23rd ACM conference on Hypertext and social media. 2012.

Hello! Adding some notes from our meeting on Friday.

1. Chose templates to work with based on how often they occur in the BLP category. These are Autobiography, Fanpov, Advert, Peacock, and Weasel.
2. Identified BLP noticeboard as an alternative option for finding problematic BLP articles (~6000 cases, will need scraping but doable).
3. Went through different methods to access the WP database.
4. Established that features from Keegan et al (2012) and Rad et al (2012) seem useful for representing collaboration patterns.

TODOs:

• Diego to provide Christine with revisions containing the identified templates.
• Exploratory data analysis on the template data.
• Exploration of the WP database.
• Implement some features from the abovementioned papers.

Some notes from our meeting earlier:

Done:

• Obtained access to servers and verified connection.
• Determined additional data needs (See pipeline diagram here) for feature extraction. Mainly require Talk page activity and complete user histories.
• Implemented language features on edit summaries, will be applied to Talk pages when available.
• Looked at Talk page vs Article activity before template addition; may be a useful feature.
• Reviewed wikiworkshop papers.

To do:

• Flag issue with JupyterLab login
• PySpark / Analytics Cluster Training
• Extract required data from MediaWiki history & MediaWiki text
• Implement remaining features (Look at WitPy for Talk page reconstruction?)
• Establish control group to compare to.

Hello,

Notes from yesterday's meeting.

1. I have implemented data extraction queries and a number of notebooks for feature engineering. Features are based on a number of entities / relationships: editor, article, Talk page, editor-article, editor-editor.
2. We have decided to truncate user collaboration history (for editor-editor features) to 1 year to make the size of the graph more manageable.
3. One user added a large number of tags in 2015 (~500), spanning multiple tag types. We have decided to remove this user's tags.

To do:

• Connect various parts of code into pipeline.
• Export features (if necessary, for a subset of samples and features).
• Sample negatives and calculate features.
