We are adapting the code the Mako and Aaron worked on for the AnonEdits paper. Here is the status of code that should work with the MessageWalls dataset:

Ready

lib-01-build_wiki_list-stage1.R

01-build_edit_weeks.R

In Progress

On Deck

Filter out bot/admin edits in wikiweeks.

Get questions from wikiq.

Get blocked users from AP

Things to find out

How much variance is there in the edit distributions among Wikia wikis. Estimate critical points of edit distributions. How much variation is there?


List of Variables to build

Principles for defining outcomes

  • Experience or newcomer definition not depends on something MW changes


Dependent Variables

Proportion of edits made by accounts that are less than one month old.


Independent Variables

  • For each wiki week:
    • total number of edits made to talk pages/message walls -- DONE
    • number of edits made to talk pages/message walls by 'new users
    • exclude blocked folks from newcomers
    • number of reverts / reverted newcomers
    • number of edits made to talk pages/message walls by 'veteran users'
    • number of edits made by a newcomer on a veteran talk page/message walls, or vice versa
    • total number of questions asked on talk pages/message walls
    • number of questions asked by newcomers
    • total number of edits made to article pages -- DONE
    • number of edits made to article pages by newcomers
    • number of edits made to article pages by veterans
    • mean 'contributor experience' [edits made so far] of all editors who have edited that week
    • mean 'contributor experience' [time spent on edits] of all editors who have edited that week
