had received much press back in June – including <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2018-06-29/In_the_media" title="Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2018-06-29/In the media">coverage in <i>The Signpost</i></a>. Even protest banners on the English Wikipedia displayed for European users, and full shutdowns occurred for some European language Wikipedias. Many comments on the proposed legislation concerned its effect on media largely dependent on many contributors, described as potentially chilling public discussion and putting up barriers to collaborative works by placing the burden for prevention of copyright infringement on the hosting party. The impact of the legislation has yet to be fully reckoned, but it did include carve-outs for non-profit uses intended for platforms such as Wikipedia. Still, we don't know what the downstream effect on commercial users and remixers of the CC-BY-SA content will be. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Brief_notes"

In particular, we are curious for your thoughts on the layout of the mobile navigation as well as on the larger number of links available. We appreciate any and all comments. </p><p>Right now, we’re researching the navigation for the new feature set. We want to focus on making it feel more familiar and useful for contributors than the current mobile menu. We want it to include pages that contributors are likely to navigate to and will find useful. Please visit the project page and try out the demo on your mobile device.

Centuries of cultural heritage, including recordings of dead languages and ancient artifacts from pre-Columbian times, were lost. </p><p>But amid the carnage and destruction, a movement has risen, one with the aim of adding as much knowledge about the museum's collections to Wikimedia projects (including Wikipedia) before anything more is lost forever. </p><p>This mobilization includes the creation and development of articles about the disaster that destroyed the museum, which held the oldest scientific collection in Brazil and was one of the largest museums in Latin America, and the launching of a campaign to gather images on the building and collection. Long-time Wikimedia editors and first-timers got together to make sure we would learn from this incident, one that forcefully reminds us that the goal of recording the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://wikimediafoundation.org/about/vision/">sum of all knowledge</a> <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:There_is_a_deadline" title="Wikipedia:There is a deadline">has a deadline</a>. </p><p>The first Portuguese Wikipedia edit about the National Museum fire was made by an anonymous user at <a href="https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Diff/53046801" class="extiw" title="pt:Special:Diff/53046801">8:40 PM</a> (UTC time), minutes after reports were being made on TV. One hour and a half later, long-time Wikimedian <a href="https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:DarwIn" class="extiw" title="pt:User:DarwIn">DarwIn</a> created <a href="https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inc%C3%AAndio_no_Museu_Nacional_do_Brasil_em_2018" class="extiw" title="pt:Incêndio no Museu Nacional do Brasil em 2018">an entry about the fire</a> itself. It initially read that "the fire at the National Museum was a fire of large proportion at the National Museum, in Rio de Janeiro, on September 2, 2018." </p><p>According to <a href="/wiki/National_Museum_of_Brazil_fire" title="National Museum of Brazil fire">the museum's entry on the English Wikipedia</a>, "The National Museum held a vast collection with more than 20 million objects, encompassing some of the most important material records regarding natural science and anthropology in Brazil, as well as numerous items that came from other regions of the world and were produced by several cultures and ancient civilizations [...] The museum also held one of the largest scientific libraries of Brazil, with over 470,000 volumes and 2,400 rare works." </p><p>Improvements on the article were coordinated among Wikimedians through social networks, as tasks were being assigned or taken up by many. On the Portuguese Wikipedia, around 250 people contributed to the entry on the museum and on the fire from 2 to 6 September. As of 10 September, entries on the fire existed in 21 languages. </p> <hr/> <p>The first picture of the fire was uploaded at <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fire_at_Museu_Nacional_01.jpg" class="extiw" title="c:File:Fire at Museu Nacional 01.jpg">11:23 PM</a>, only hours after the fire had begun. The photographer, Felipe Milanez, is a university professor and journalist, who had worked on research projects with the team of the National Museum. As he posted on Facebook on what he was seeing, I asked him to send me pictures of his to upload to Wikimedia Commons (a formal authorization to use the image followed). He sent five images; in just three days, this set was seen over 2 million times, particularly <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fire_at_Museu_Nacional_05.jpg" class="extiw" title="c:File:Fire at Museu Nacional 05.jpg">an image of the statue</a> of the Brazilian Emperor Pedro II with the museum on fire behind. This was Felipe Milanez's first contribution to Wikimedia projects. </p><p>"People need to know about this, [and] people need to see this", said Felipe Milanez on why he was contributing to Wikimedia Commons. He also wrote reports for the local and international press. According to him, the disaster that struck the National Museum was associated with a lack of investment from the Brazilian government, which had cut funding for the institution. </p><p>Wikimedians then began publishing a call on social networks for people to upload images to <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/" class="extiw" title="c:">Wikimedia Commons</a>, a freely licensed media repository that holds many of the images used on Wikipedia, on the museum building and collection. In just three days, around 2,000 images of the museum taken before the fire have been uploaded. Images received were normally uploaded to a generic category on Commons, and more experienced users then worked to curate the content, often communicating through private messaging to discuss categorization strategies. </p><p>Student Juliana Gouy was one of those responding to the call. The National Museum is to her a special place, somewhere she went to with her family as a child; it was a calm refuge from Rio de Janeiro, one of the largest and most hectic cities in Brazil. "As soon as I heard the fire was going on," she said, "I felt the need to look at the pictures I had taken there and I thought many of my friends would like to see them. I shared these pictures publicly, and then many people started liking them." That's when she was approached to contribute the images to Wikimedia Commons. </p><p>Juliana Gouy had never contributed to Wikimedia Commons, and had actually never heard of the project. She uploaded <a class="external text" href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:ListFiles?limit=500&user=JuGouy&ilshowall=1">a small set of images</a> and, as she was having trouble with the <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload_Wizard" class="extiw" title="c:Commons:Upload Wizard">UploadWizard</a>, was given help to upload around 200 pictures of the museum building and its collections. </p><p>As content was being produced collaboratively, editors of the Portuguese Wikipedia agreed to a proposal by long-time editor <a href="https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Dornicke" class="extiw" title="pt:User:Dornicke">Dornicke</a> that a site banner should appear above all pages to mourn the loss of so much cultural heritage.

Morgan</a></i></dd></dl> <p>One of the earliest research papers on Wikipedia is called "Talk Before You Type: Coordination in Wikipedia"<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>supp 1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> by <a href="/wiki/Fernanda_Vi%C3%A9gas" title="Fernanda Viégas">Fernanda Viégas</a> and <a href="/wiki/Martin_M._Wattenberg" title="Martin M. Wattenberg">Martin M. Wattenberg</a>, then of <a href="/wiki/IBM_Research" title="IBM Research">IBM Research</a>. In that paper, the researchers perform a series of analyses of Wikipedia, including visualizations of article growth using their <a href="/wiki/IBM_History_Flow_tool" title="IBM History Flow tool">HistoryFlow visualization platform</a>, in order to understand how Wikipedia editors coordinate their activities around content production, curation, and quality control. Their analysis revealed that between 2003 and 2005, Wikipedia talk pages grew at a greater rate than article pages—which suggested that explicit coordination among editors had become increasingly important as the community and encyclopedia grew. In order to investigate this trend, they performed <a href="/wiki/Content_analysis" title="Content analysis">content analysis</a> on a purposeful sample<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>supp 2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> of 25 article talk pages in order to understand how these discussion spaces support article development. Among their findings were that 58% of talk page posts included requests or proposals to edit the related article. Other types of talk page posts included requests for information about the article, references to vandalism, references to policy, and off-topic remarks. </p><p>The findings and methods from "Talk Before You Type" have informed many subsequent studies of Wikipedia. As of September 2018, the study has been cited over 400 times according to Google Scholar.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>supp 3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, the content analysis portion of the study focused on a relatively small number of talk pages, and only talk pages on English Wikipedia. Furthermore, the study was conducted over a decade ago. So it's fair to ask: do other language editions of Wikipedia use talkpages the same way as the English Wikipedia does? And how may have collaboration practices on the English Wikipedia itself changed in the intervening decade? </p><p>A recent paper published in the proceedings of the 2018 <a href="/w/index.php?title=OpenSym&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="OpenSym (page does not exist)">OpenSym</a> conference addresses both of these questions. Titled "We All Talk Before We Type?: Understanding Collaboration in Wikipedia Language Editions"<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and written by researchers at the University of Washington, it attempts to replicate Viégas and Wattenberg's content analysis using a larger and more recent sample of talk page posts from English, Spanish, and French Wikipedias. The researchers find evidence that different Wikipedia communities use talk pages differently: for example, Spanish Wikipedia articles seem to feature an overall higher proportion of requests for information than either English or French, and a higher proportion of Information Boxes. However, the most striking result of their study is that while proportions of different kinds of talk page posts are broadly similar across the three Wikipedias they analyzed, they are all substantially different from the results of the 2007 study. In particular, while Viégas and Wattenberg found that 58% of talk page posts included requests for editing coordination, only 35–37% of posts in the newer sample implicated coordinated editing activity. </p><p>This result suggests that the way editors use talk pages has changed dramatically since the 2005 sample was collected. It may be an indication of changes in the focus of editing work on Wikipedia. Perhaps the work of maintaining a much larger and fuller Wikipedia requires less direct coordination than was necessary earlier in the project's development, when more editors focused on writing and expanding new articles. It's also possible that the Wikipedia editor communities, which now contain a much higher proportion of experienced editors, are able to coordinate their activities more effectively in a <a href="/wiki/Stigmergic" class="mw-redirect" title="Stigmergic">stigmergic</a> manner, making "talking before you type" less necessary. Future research can build on this work by examining other differences, such as between the editing dynamics of other older and younger Wikipedias, as well as examine potential cultural forces that mediate how editing communities talk to, and work with, one another. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id=""Stigmergic_Coordination_in_Wikipedia"" data-mw-thread-id="h-"Stigmergic_Coordination_in_Wikipedia"-signpost-article-title"><span id=".22Stigmergic_Coordination_in_Wikipedia.22"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-"Stigmergic_Coordination_in_Wikipedia"-signpost-article-title"></span>"Stigmergic Coordination in Wikipedia"<span data-mw-comment-end="h-"Stigmergic_Coordination_in_Wikipedia"-signpost-article-title"></span></h3></div> <dl><dd><i>Reviewed by <a href="/wiki/User:N%C3%B8kkenbuer" title="User:Nøkkenbuer">Nøkkenbuer</a></i></dd></dl> <p>On the matter of stigmergy, another paper presented at OpenSym 2018 titled "Stigmergic Coordination in Wikipedia" investigated evidence for just that.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> From the abstract: "Using a novel approach to identifying edits to the same part of a Wikipedia article, we show that a majority of edits to two example articles are not associated with discussion on the article Talk page, suggesting the possibility of stigmergic coordination. However, discussion does seem to be related to article quality, suggesting the limits to this approach to coordination." </p><p>Although the researchers only analyzed two articles, namely <a href="/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln" title="Abraham Lincoln">Abraham Lincoln</a> and <a href="/wiki/Business" title="Business">Business</a> from the English Wikipedia, they concluded that "the data presented in this paper suggest that a substantial fraction of the edits made on Wikipedia are coordinated without explicit discussion on the Talk pages", which they hypothesize as representative of stigmergic coordination. In fact, it appears that <em>the majority</em> of edits analyzed demonstrated stigmergic behavior; although this may be obvious for minor edits and fixing vandalism, the stigmergy was apparent even in substantial edits. Moreover, the authors caution that due to the "overly strict <a href="/wiki/Operationalization" title="Operationalization">operationalization</a>" they used in gathering and analyzing the data, these analyses may be underestimating the reality of stigmergic editing in Wikipedia. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="What_Wikipedia's_biographical_data_tells_us_about_the_world's_painters,_writers_and_scientists" data-mw-thread-id="h-What_Wikipedia's_biographical_data_tells_us_about_the_world's_painters,_writers-signpost-article-title"><span id="What_Wikipedia.27s_biographical_data_tells_us_about_the_world.27s_painters.2C_writers_and_scientists"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-What_Wikipedia's_biographical_data_tells_us_about_the_world's_painters,_writers-signpost-article-title"></span>What Wikipedia's biographical data tells us about the world's painters, writers and scientists<span data-mw-comment-end="h-What_Wikipedia's_biographical_data_tells_us_about_the_world's_painters,_writers-signpost-article-title"></span></h3></div> <dl><dd><i>Five recent papers that study the influence and relations of historical persons based on the biographical coverage on Wikipedia, compiled by <a href="/wiki/User:Tbayer_(WMF)" title="User:Tbayer (WMF)">Tilman Bayer</a>:</i></dd></dl> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1240928998"></div><div class="signpost-sidebar signpost-sidebar-fillerimage"><figure class="mw-halign-center" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Francesco_Melzi_-_Portrait_of_Leonardo_-_WGA14795.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Photograph of a sketch portrait of Leonardo da Vinci" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f7/Francesco_Melzi_-_Portrait_of_Leonardo_-_WGA14795.jpg/200px-Francesco_Melzi_-_Portrait_of_Leonardo_-_WGA14795.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="287" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f7/Francesco_Melzi_-_Portrait_of_Leonardo_-_WGA14795.jpg/300px-Francesco_Melzi_-_Portrait_of_Leonardo_-_WGA14795.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f7/Francesco_Melzi_-_Portrait_of_Leonardo_-_WGA14795.jpg/400px-Francesco_Melzi_-_Portrait_of_Leonardo_-_WGA14795.jpg 2x" data-file-width="726" data-file-height="1043"/></a><figcaption></figcaption></figure><div class="signpost-fillerimage"><div class="center" style="width:auto; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;">Leonardo da Vinci had the highest PageRank on five of the seven Wikipedias examined in this study.</div></div></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248129851"><div class="wp-signpost-block-2 wp-signpost-block-2-narrow"> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id=""Community_Detection_with_Metadata_in_a_Network_of_Biographies_of_Western_Art_Painters"" data-mw-thread-id="h-"Community_Detection_with_Metadata_in_a_Network_of_Biographies_of_Western_Art_Pa-What_Wikipedia's_biographical_data_tells_us_about_the_world's_painters,_writers"><span id=".22Community_Detection_with_Metadata_in_a_Network_of_Biographies_of_Western_Art_Painters.22"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-"Community_Detection_with_Metadata_in_a_Network_of_Biographies_of_Western_Art_Pa-What_Wikipedia's_biographical_data_tells_us_about_the_world's_painters,_writers"></span>"Community Detection with Metadata in a Network of Biographies of Western Art Painters"<span data-mw-comment-end="h-"Community_Detection_with_Metadata_in_a_Network_of_Biographies_of_Western_Art_Pa-What_Wikipedia's_biographical_data_tells_us_about_the_world's_painters,_writers"></span></h4></div> <p>From the abstract:<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> "[...] we look at the structure of the influences between Western art painters as revealed by their biographies on Wikipedia.
