Problem
IRS currently does not add attribution markers to reports created through external community reporting destinations. This means we cannot directly tell whether a report on a destination board originated from IRS.
As a lightweight proof of concept, we want to check whether IRS usage can be correlated with subsequent edits to known reporting destinations.
Hypothesis
If a user enters an IRS session and then shortly afterward edits a known reporting destination, that edit may have been influenced by IRS.
Example:
User has IRS session -> same user edits ANI shortly afterward -> infer possible IRS-influenced report
Reporting destinations
Please include edits to the following English Wikipedia reporting destinations:
- Teahouse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse
- ANI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents
- AIV: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrator_intervention_against_vandalism
- Sockpuppet Investigations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations
Suggested attribution windows to test:
- 15 minutes
- 30 minutes
- 1 hour
- 24 hours
