@awight Thank you for your review. Coming to your feedback, if you are talking about user fingerprinting using mouse movements then Yes, that surely is a concern. But the extent to which we must be worried about that is something worth a thought. The reason being :
a) If we techniques like deep learning are used to identify the user then we will need a large enough dataset for the same. In the Wikipedia dataset, we will not be having such huge sessions for a particular user( we will try our best to not link it with any user rather we shouldn't because ultimately at the end of the day we are just concerned with as to whether the data belonged to a human or that of a bot). In the final build, we will only be taking a relatively small set of mouse movements and then use the trained classifier to give us a prediction.

Sorry guys got caught with some other tasks. Will work on this when I am relatively freer.

@UpsandDowns1234 For starters, it's quite tedious to fill in a Captcha each time (this increases the number of elementary cognitive steps in UX terms and thereby decreases usability). In fact half of the time, it's hard to read the captcha even for humans! This brings down the overall user experience. Google brought out Recaptcha V2 in a bid to try and tackle this issue in V1 along with other issues. While it does a good job, it requires the user's movements to be tracked. This is against the WMF policy( I remember reading a discussion about this in Phabricator but I can't find the link to it)

I have made the 3 changes mentioned above. The resulting image is 320px wide but unfortunately the text box doesn't expand along with it to match it. Shall I/ Do we need to change some values for that as well? I have added the resulting image here.
Hello, I'd like to introduce myself. I am Smarita and am also interested in taking this project in outreachy round-15.
