Re: [Wiki-research-l] [Analytics] Does StackExchange have more monthly active users than Wikipedia?

[Tilman Bayer]

Joel Spolsky explained his comparison - which was already mentioned on
this list (Analytics-l) on September 17 - a bit more here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvEAuSHJOBU&t=2216
TLDL: it's indeed about the entire Stack Exchange network vs. the
English Wikipedia (i.e. not about the number from Nemo's query), and
they chose this metric for the closest possible comparison - but still
maintain that posting a question or answer is a larger unit of work
than the average WP edit.

Wow. That's really interesting, thanks for sharing.

I think beyond the specific measures that they used, just making the
decision from the administration to identify and fix harassment problems
probably made a big difference on its own. Nobody had ever mentioned to
that kid not to use the N word? Just clearly stating the principles is a
good idea.

Very interesting article, thanks Toby. Forwarding this on.

I particularly like this paragraph: "As a result of these governance
systems changing online cultural norms, incidences of homophobia, sexism
and racism in League of Legends have fallen to a combined 2 percent of all
games. Verbal abuse has dropped by more than 40 percent, and 91.6 percent
of negative players change their act and never commit another offense after
just one reported penalty."

[Wiki-research-l] abuse and online game communities

[Toby Negrin]

Although this is probably less research-y than usual posts to this list but
I thought the use of ML to analyze a community curated corpus of positive
and negative online behavior was interesting:

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing this, Nemo. And for setting those arrogant
Stackers straight ;)

For anyone else interested: Nemo was able to answer this question because
StackExchange has a Quarry -like public query
interface of their own. You should go play with it right now:
