Dear movement fellows, Impact is crucial for our movement, and although metrics will always be imperfect, we must strive to reinvent ourselves and always come up with new innovative ways of measuring what we bring to the Wikimedia projects, to free knowledge, and to human society.
Measuring impact regarding collections of media holds its own challenges and although we have been focusing on this for a while now, much work still lies ahead. We were inspired by the “bytes added” metric, one of the pinnacles of written content expansion measurement, which goes beyond mere edit count. The same reasoning holds true for media:a puny upload count cannot come close to the real awesomeness. This is why, as we appreciate that size matters, Wikimedia France quality commitee is proud to introduce its brand new set of metrics: the pixel count and the quality pixel count − since quality is of firstmost importance. You may query the Pixel count metric for your FDC reports as part of our wm-metrics webapp [1] Furthermore, an implementation of these new metrics will also ship with our new new (teasing!) product [2] As of April 1st 2015 Wikimedia France has supported the upload on Wikimedia Commons of: - 1 229 694 933 639 pixels [3] - among those pixels, 22 407 932 851 are quality pixels (18,223512%) [4] This is only the beginning: next step is the measurement of cute pixels, encyclopedic pixels and amazing pixels. Confident in the relevance of these new indicators, we would be delighted and honored to see the Pixel count integrated in the Global Metrics. As always we welcome feedback, hugs and pull requests. Sincerely, For the quality committee of Wikimedia France Caroline, Jean-Fred, Pierre-Selim and Petit Tigre [1] https://tools.wmflabs.org/wm-metrics/fdc [2] https://github.com/Commonists/MediaCollectionDB/commit/4c2ab42f83e894c9dd317038ad025abdeb946f6e [3] http://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/2882 [4] http://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/2886 -- Pierre-Selim _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
