Hi Sashi, I think that there is a research project regarding Wikipedia sources in the WMF Annual Plan for this fiscal year. I believe that the Head of the Wikipedia Library, Jake Orlowitz, is involved. I suggest that you reach out to him at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ocaasi_(WMF).
Also, I recommend that you subscribe to the Research-l mailing list at https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l. You could try asking your question there, especially if you don't hear back from Jake. Good luck with your research, Pine ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pine ) On Mon, Aug 27, 2018 at 3:44 PM sashi <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > I thought I would ask if any of the junior or senior researchers here on > this mailing list have conducted previous inquiries into Wikipedia's > sourcing. > > I am currently working on a project of determining what proportion of > Wikipedia is sourced to newspapers, the military, the Church, social > media, etc. > > The data I've compiled this month, along with a brief write-up, have > been posted to Wikipediocracy: > > http://wikipediocracy.com/2018/08/26/wikipedia-sources-methods/ > > I imagine I'm reinventing the wheel... such studies have been done > before, by the WMF, with power tools (bots), right? > > Thanks for any corrections / suggestions, > > sashi > > > _______________________________________________ > Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: > https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and > https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l > New messages to: [email protected] > Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, > <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe> _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe>
