Hi All,
I am working with Wiki Ed this semester in a class project to edit
disciplinary topics related to digital literacy and rhetoric, with an
eye towards editing articles to better represent minority scholars and
research.
As part of this project, I would also like students to be able to
analyze disciplinary coverage (or lack of coverage) on topics related
to this subject area (digital literacy, digital rhetoric, digital
humanities). I am looking for tools that would help me do quantitative
analysis of mainspace Wikipedia articles within a given category - so
that I can follow these up with some local qualitative analysis
regarding the representation (or lack of representation) of minority
scholar(s)/(ship)coverage in the encyclopedia.
So far I have identified Yanker
(https://tools.wmflabs.org/pirsquared/ts_archive/mzmcbride/yanker.py/)and
XTools (https://xtools.wmflabs.org) as possible tools for this kind of
work. Just wondering if anyone had any additional ideas? Thanks,
Matt
