Apologize for not being knowledgeable about thank you

It is not okay for you to remove subscribers because they are likely other contributors who are interested in the task, just as you are. Please avoid that and simply add your contribution in a comment by tagging the right mentors.

I completed this contribution a few weeks ago but did not ask for feedback because I felt that the general feedback applied to my case and was enough to fix my issues/make improvements. Nevertheless, @srishakatux mentioned in a Zulip chat that the completion date corresponds to the date when my contribution was reviewed.

Hello, @Anshika_bhatt_20 . I hope to bring some guidance with my understanding of the task so may at least move forward before the mentors respond.

I used two approaches to observe differences between files, I will explain both and an overview of the differences:

Hello everyone. Happy new week. I hope you all are doing great.

@awight @Simulo , Please I have a few concerns

After contributing to any of the microtasks above, how do I know if it was accepted?

Is there any other thing I am to do after contributing?

Hi @Ahn-nath, thank you for noting this problem and apologies that I didn't anticipate it when leaving the choice of language free. It's fine that your linked repos are private but I'll only be able to speak in general terms about a possible integration.

Hello, Adam. My contribution (https://github.com/ahn-nath/configuration-evolution-over-time.time-machine) to the Configuration evolution over time task uses JavaScript as the primary language, since the supported and official client library of the GitHub API, Octokit.js, uses it, and I felt it was more appropriate for the project requirements. Nevertheless, my contribution (https://github.com/ahn-nath/wikimedia-cxserver-config-parser) to the Extract cxserver configuration task employs Python as the primary language. At first, I did not feel this would have any negative impact on my final application, but now, I am confused about whether to fork another repository and choose one of my own to merge or if it would be better to rewrite my own code in my preferred language for this contribution.

I have a few changes left to complete my solution for this task and would appreciate it if any of you could review the repository if the review period is not over yet.

Thank you for the valuable feedback I received on my repository. I will be working on all suggestions so that I can finish my Outreachy contribution. I have made the code private until all of my work is done on both repositories (for two different tasks) and added you (both) as contributors.

This brings up an important side question: data protection laws prevent collecting any personal data from young people, at a cut-off age that varies by country. Here's a a reference: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/rights-citizens/how-my-personal-data-protected/can-personal-data-about-children-be-collected_en . My understanding is that we shouldn't collect data from anyone under the age of 17.

general Feedback:

• Age: Please use brackets that go up to 70 or 80, not just "50 or older" (I used only the few first brackets in my example, simply because I did not want to write a very long list)
• Name: I am curious: Why do so many surveys ask for a name? What do you want to do with it in your analysis?
• Type of content to translate: Quite some surveys ask for "What type of online content do you translate?". The tool we analyse in this task is primarily used to tranlsate Wikipedia articles. You can ask what content people usually translate if you have a particular interest in that, but the tool in question does not aim to be used e.g. to translate social media posts.

If you just get started or review your survey draft, please also consider the newly added links in the task description:

Hello, @awight and @Simulo.

Hello, everyone. I am Nathaly Toledo, from Caracas, Venezuela. I am a full-stack software developer (freelance) and senior computer science student who has a deep interest in social tech. This is the second time that I have attempted to contribute to a Wikimedia project and, this time, I hope to focus on growing while I do so.

The paper explores and discusses the differences between editors or contributors on Wikipedia based on geographic ground. The motivation behind this research or analysis lies in previous investigations that have outlined how some regions receive more contributions, can have disproportionate contributions from within, and how some non-local editors decided to prioritize writing articles for countries and parts of the world that are dramatically rich or already saturated of information when compared with other parts. The article also discusses the consequences of these outcomes and how it prevents Wikipedia from achieving its ambition to democratize content.

Outreach application form:

Some communities or projects may want you to answer additional questions. Please check with your mentor and community coordinator to see if you need to provide any additional information after you save your final application.

are there also any specific questions we need to answer?

Ok thanks so much let me try df.iloc instead. my code was correct, just that I forgot to put the single or double quotes when I brought the question here. And for the dataset I was loading something like 20k of the data

I really do not know where I'm going wrong but I can't happen to find the article when I search in the clickstream. I have tried all sorts of methods. For example I would love to search this article - "NHK_Educational_TV". But I can't find it in the clickstream when I use

df.loc[(df[0] == NHK_Educational_TV)| (df[1] == NHK_Educational_TV)]

where df is my dataframe. But when I do a quick look at this https://pageviews.toolforge.org/langviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&start=2021-01-01&end=2021-01-31&sort=views&direction=1&view=list&page=NHK%20Educational%20TV I can see that there are lots of languages where NHK_Education_TV appears. What might be the problem

Yes, the service is currently unavailable.

Hey, @Zealink.
 
I support rachita on this. I wouldn't remove all comments because they serve as a good reference; it's a given. Yet, I did remove some parts/modify them. As a general pattern, I kept the ones that described the task/stage and removed parts that were much more specific to the how-to-do of a task (tutorial). At least for me, this rule only applied to comments.

Hello everyone, i would like to ask what kind of visualization(Bar graphs, Pie Charts etc.) you all preferred over the others in the place where--

1. TODO: Choose a destination article from the dataset that is:
2. * relatively popular (at least 1000 pageviews and 20 unique sources in the dataset)
3. * shows up in at least one other language with at least 1000 pageviews in January 2021
4. ** You can check quickly via this tool: https://pageviews.toolforge.org/langviews/
5. Pull all the data in the clickstream dataset for that article (both as a source and destination)
6. Visualize the data to show what the common pathways to and from the article are

Got it. Thanks!

Hello, I'd like to ask if there are rows in the dataset that have no pageview, or the pageview is a different index?
When I run the code, after some time of running it produces an error saying cannot convert str to int

Thank you for this!

Indeed. We are required to submit a link to our PAWS notebooks, and we should be able to take advantage of its capabilities (PAWS) as well. I just used Google Collab as a popular alternative. In general, I was just referring to an alternative to using your local machine (cloud services).

Thank you, @HagerDakroury. This is useful.
