[Foundation-l] Flagged Revisions, Report on german WP
Hiho, there have been some significant developments on de-WP, which I would like to share with this list. On February, 4th, all articles of the german WP had at least one sighted revision. Since then, only pages newly created by noneditors have to be looked at. On average, around 1.000 pages were marked for the first time per day and these are now carried over to looking at edits that have to be flagged. This means that since February 4th, the number of pages with revisions awaiting review has dropped from almost 13.000 to 5.000 (see http://toolserver.org/~aka/cgi-bin/reviewcnt.cgi?lang=germanaction=imagesproject=dewiki last picture). More importantly, the maximal waiting time for edits to be reviewed has dropped from 16 days to less than 7 now, which means that finally, we are now in an acceptable regime. The goal is, to reduce this time until tuesday to 5 days (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Gesichtete_Versionen/Nachsichtung). The median waiting time for edits until review is still within hours. Still on the list of things to do is making the criterias for a sighted version more precise from has been looked at by an experienced editor and is without vandalism.

Hopefully this will allay some of the fears of English Wikipedians. ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
Re: [Foundation-l] Wikimedia and public sector involvement, connections
Recently 100,000 historical photos were released by some German agency (Can't think of it's name) to the wikimedia commons.

There has been a 100k image donation by the German federal archive (Bundesarchiv). A brief description of the project is on Commons at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Bundesarchiv Regards, ChrisiPK Patton 123 schrieb: Recently 100,000 historical photos were released by some German agency (Can't think of it's name) to the wikimedia commons.
