Hi everyone,
Wiki Workshop [1 <https://wikiworkshop.org/>] 2023 will be the 10th edition
of Wiki Workshop! \o/ In the spirit of research and experimentation, we
have decided to make some changes for this decade edition event. There are
some changes that we know about now, and some that are work in progress.
Below you can learn more about the high level changes we expect to
implement.
*Online or in-person?*
Based on the feedback that we have gathered from Wiki Workshop attendees
over the past few years, a survey of authors of the recent Wiki Workshops,
as well as data about the geographical and gender diversity of Wiki
Workshop attendees (disclosed optionally as part of the registration form,
and aggregated), *we have decided to offer Wiki Workshop 2023 as a fully
online event*.
Through the authors' survey we also learned that some authors who publish
in Wiki Workshop appreciated the in-person presence of the Wiki Workshop
community as part of the Web Conference [2 <https://www2023.thewebconf.org/>]
(formerly WWW). *We are exploring options to bring the Wikimedia
researchers who will attend TheWebConf 2023 in-person together while some
of us will be in Austin*. More details on this in early 2023.
*When*
We expect the workshop to take place some time in April-June 2023. We will
announce the exact date no later than the end of February 2023.
*Publishing and proceedings*
When we surveyed Wiki Workshop authors, those who responded were split
50-50 between whether it is important for them to have their workshop
submission as part of a proceedings. This allowed us to start considering
options other than the Companion Proceedings of WWW (the traditional venue
where a subset of Wiki Workshop papers were published in every year).
I'm very excited to share that we have found a new approach for publishing
Wiki Workshop papers that can allow us to experiment with new models and
keep the two groups of authors happy.
For the 2023 edition, *we will continue with the tradition of receiving
paper submissions for Wiki Workshop* (though we may change the submission
format/length for 2023)* and all accepted papers will appear in the
**corresponding
Wiki Workshop website*, similar to last year's. [3
<https://wikiworkshop.org/2022/#papers>] However, instead of accepting a
subset of the papers to appear in Proceedings of WWW, we are working with
the Editor in Chief of ACM Transactions on the Web (TWEB) [4
<https://dl.acm.org/journal/tweb>] to create a pathway for a subset of the
Wiki Workshop papers (likely after being extended) to be submitted for
review to *a special edition of ACM TWEB*.
There are a lot of details for us to work on to make the TWEB special
edition happen and that means this year you should expect to receive the
Call for Paper for Wiki Workshop some time in late January to middle of
February 2023 (instead of the usual December time-frame).
I am very excited about the opportunity for the work of the Wikimedia
research and Wiki Workshop community to be published as part of ACM
Transactions on the Web and I'm very grateful to Ryen White,
Editor-in-Chief of ACM TWEB, for being welcoming in exploring this idea and
offering a special edition space (details tbd).
*Other changes*
There are some other high level schedule changes that we may make for the
2023 edition. If you like to stay informed about these changes at a
granular level and over time, you're welcome to subscribe to the
Phabricator task where these changes will be tracked:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T313530 .
We hope to be back with more updates for you in early 2023.
Best,
Leila, Bob and Emily
p.s. Please note that I didn't run the text of this email with Bob and
Emily (cc-ed). We have coordinated and discussed these changes among
ourselves, and they're welcome to add/update as they see fit.

Pursuant to prior discussions about the need for a research
policy on Wikipedia, WikiProject Research is drafting a
policy regarding the recruitment of Wikipedia users to
participate in studies.
At this time, we have a proposed policy, and an accompanying
group that would facilitate recruitment of subjects in much
the same way that the Bot Approvals Group approves bots.
The policy proposal can be found at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Research
The Subject Recruitment Approvals Group mentioned in the proposal
is being described at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Subject_Recruitment_Approvals_Group
Before we move forward with seeking approval from the Wikipedia
community, we would like additional input about the proposal,
and would welcome additional help improving it.
Also, please consider participating in WikiProject Research at:

Hi all,
If you are actively using IP addresses of not-logged-in editors of the
Wikimedia projects for your research or intend to do so in the future,
please read on. Otherwise, you can stop here.
As you know, IP addresses can provide a wealth of information about
not-logged-in editors, including sensitive information such as their
location and organization. This can pose a privacy risk to these editors.
To mitigate this, the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) is currently working on a
project to mask IP addresses and limit their exposure and storage on our
platform.
The IP masking project can have an impact on your work. Given that the
Research team represents the needs of the Wikimedia research community in
the Wikimedia Foundation, we are reaching out to you to notify you of the
upcoming changes. We do this in coordination with the team responsible for
IP masking.
The change: When WMF launches the IP masking, future edits from
not-logged-in users (sometimes referred to as unregistered users) will no
longer be attributed to their IP addresses. Instead, they will be assigned
auto generated temporary usernames that will be tied to a cookie on their
browsers. As long as the cookie persists, the edits will be attributed to
that user. After a certain period of time (tentatively one year), the
cookie will automatically expire. Users who need access to IP addresses to
protect Wikimedia projects from vandalism or other abuse will be able to do
so on a limited basis and for a limited period of time.
No change. IP addresses of not-logged-in users in the historical data will
remain unchanged. The IP masking rollout will affect future edits (relative
to the time of rollout) only.
Timelines: The projected timeline for early pilot (in 1-2 wikimedia
projects) rollout is between October-December 2023. The team doesn’t yet
have a projected timeline for a complete rollout of this change to all
Wikimedia projects.
What we have considered to offer instead. We understand the importance of
IP addresses for research purposes. To that end:
-
The Research <https://research.wikimedia.org/team.html> and Security
<https://security.wikimedia.org/> teams did an initial exploration of
whether we can offer one or more alternative datasets that can support
existing research that utilizes IP addresses. We concluded that we will not
be able to offer country level data –the most common use-case of IP
addresses to the best of our knowledge – at the revision level at this
point in time.
-
The Research team will consider exploring the option to offer a
user-group level access to researchers who need to have access to this
data. The priority of this work will depend on other priorities of the
Research team as well as an impact assessment based on what we hear from
the researchers who currently work with this data. (See the next paragraph.
)
Impact on your research: If this change creates a significant burden on you
or your research, we want to hear from you by April 30, 2023. You can
communicate this impact by leaving a comment in
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T332034. If there is an impact that you
cannot communicate publicly, please write an email to Niharika Kohli <
nkohli(a)wikimedia.org> (IP Masking, Product Manager, also in CC) & myself <
lzia(a)wikimedia.org> (Head of Research). We commit to reviewing all comments
we receive by the deadline, and we commit to exploring ways to support you
to reduce the impact on you and your work. We also ask for your
understanding. If this data is not essential for your work, please consider
using the many other data sources that we make publicly available,
including but not limited to those listed in
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Data.
Sharing your expertise. If you have conducted research or are aware of
research that the team should take into account as WMF moves forward with
IP masking, please share that with the team on the project’s talk page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:IP_Editing:_Privacy_Enhancement_and_Ab…>
.
Stay updated. You can stay updated about this project through the project’s
dedicated page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IP_Editing:_Privacy_Enhancement_and_Abuse_M…>
.
Please consider this email as a one-time courtesy notification. We may not
send reminders. As a result, if your work may be affected, please take a
note of this email and reach out to us by the deadline. :)
Thanks,
Leila

The Wikimedia Foundation has developed a set of ML/AI systems that have
been shaping editing behaviour on Wikipedia. How these tools have
impacted the efficiency and fairness of moderation work will be
discussed in "Balancing Open Participation and Information Quality in
Wikipedia Using Machine Learning", a talk by Benjamin Mako Hill of the
University of Washington. The talk is part of the 2023 Lecture Series of
the Austrian Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence:
https://www.ofai.at/events/lectures2023
Members of the public are cordially invited to attend the talk via Zoom
on Wednesday, 15 February at 18:30 CET (UTC+1):
URL:
https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84282442460?pwd=NHVhQnJXOVdZTWtNcWNRQllaQWFnQT09
Meeting ID: 842 8244 2460
Passcode: 678868
Talk abstract: Peer produced information goods like free/open source
software and Wikipedia are both increasingly important and increasingly
under threat. This talk will describe how Wikipedia has sought to
balance its commitment to open editing and its desire to allow
participation from unvetted and anonymous users with its need to
maintain high information quality in its articles. I will focus on the
way that a set of ML/AI systems developed by the Wikimedia Foundation
allow scholars to measure the value of contributions from anonymous
users and the surprising way that these systems can also be used by the
Wikipedia community to shape editing behavior. I will argue that use of
these ML/AI systems can both improve the efficiency of moderation work
while also making moderation actions more fair to anonymous contributors
who are the source of substantial vandalism by reducing reliance on
social signals and making norm violations by everyone else more visible.
Speaker biography: Benjamin Mako Hill is an Associate Professor in the
University of Washington Department of Communication and an Adjunct
Associate Professor in the Department of Human-Centered Design &
Engineering, the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering,
and the Information School. He is a member of Community Data Science
Collective which he founded with Aaron Shaw. At UW, he is also Affiliate
Faculty in the Center for Statistics and the Social Sciences, the

We invite contributions to the 10th edition (!) of Wiki Workshop, which
will take place virtually on May 11, 2023 (tentatively 12:00-19:00 UTC).
Wiki Workshop is the largest Wikimedia research event of the year, aimed at
bringing together researchers who study all aspects of Wikimedia projects
(including, but not limited to, Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons,
Wikisource, and Wiktionary) as well as Wikimedia developers, affiliate
organizations, and volunteer editors. Co-organized by the Wikimedia
Foundation’s Research team and members of the Wikimedia research community,
the workshop facilitates a direct pathway for exchanging ideas between the
organizations that serve Wikimedia projects and the researchers actively
studying them. New this year: Building on the successful experiences of
organizing Wiki Workshop in 2015 <https://wikiworkshop.org/2015/>, 2016
<https://wikiworkshop.org/2016/>, 2017 <https://wikiworkshop.org/2017/>,
2018 <https://wikiworkshop.org/2018/>, 2019 <https://wikiworkshop.org/2019/>
, 2020 <https://wikiworkshop.org/2020/>, 2021
<https://wikiworkshop.org/2021/>, and 2022 <https://wikiworkshop.org/2022/>
and based on feedback from authors and participants over the years, we are
introducing a few updates to the research track of the workshop for 2023:
-
This 10th edition will take place as a standalone event (rather than in
co-location with a conference, as in previous years).
-
We have changed the format of submissions and will only accept 2-page
extended abstracts (following the successful IC2S2 model).
-
Submissions are non-archival, so we welcome ongoing, completed, and
already published work.
-
We are excited to share that the authors of Wiki Workshop 2023 will have
the opportunity to receive feedback, improve their work, and submit the
extended version of their research paper to a special issue of the ACM
Transactions on the Web, which will have a dedicated open call for papers
later in 2023.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
-
new technologies and initiatives to grow content, quality, equity,
diversity, and participation across Wikimedia projects
-
use of bots, algorithms, and crowdsourcing strategies to curate, source,
or verify content and structured data
-
bias in content and gaps of knowledge on Wikimedia projects
-
relation between Wikimedia projects and the broader (open) knowledge
ecosystem
-
exploration of what constitutes a source and how/if the incorporation of
other kinds of sources are possible (e.g., oral histories, video)
-
detection of low-quality, promotional, or fake content (misinformation
or disinformation), as well as fake accounts (e.g., sock puppets)
-
questions related to community health (e.g., sentiment analysis,
harassment detection, tools that could increase harmony)
-
motivations, engagement models, incentives, and needs of editors,
readers, and/or developers of Wikimedia projects
-
innovative uses of Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects for AI and NLP
applications and vice versa
-
consensus-finding and conflict resolution on editorial issues
-
dynamics of content reuse across projects and the impact of policies and
community norms on reuse privacy, security, and trust
-
collaborative content creation
-
innovative uses of Wikimedia projects' content and consumption patterns
as sensors for real-world events, culture, etc.
-
open-source research code, datasets, and tools to support research on
Wikimedia contents and communities
-
connections between Wikimedia projects and the Semantic Web
-
strategies for how to incorporate Wikimedia projects into media literacy
interventions
This year’s Wiki Workshop solicits extended abstracts (PDF format, maximum
2 pages, including references). Submissions that exceed the 2-page limit
will be automatically rejected. Authors may include 1 additional page with
figures and/or tables (including captions) only. Initial submissions
require names and affiliations of authors, 5 keywords, a title, abstract,
and a main text outlining the contribution, methods, findings, and impact
of the work, whichever is relevant. Submissions will be non-archival and as
a result may have already been published, under review, or ongoing
research. All submissions will be reviewed by multiple members of the Wiki
Workshop Program Committee. The names of the authors will be revealed to
the reviewers, whereas reviewers will remain anonymous to authors. Authors
of accepted abstracts will be invited to present their research in a
pre-recorded oral presentation with dedicated time for live Q&A on May 11,
2023. Accepted abstracts may be shared on the website prior to the event.
The template for formatting the submission as well as the submission link
to easychair will be made available by February 23.

Final Call for Papers: 28th International Conference on Conceptual
Structures (ICCS 2023)
September 11th-13rd, 2023, Berlin, Germany

About ICCS
**********
The International Conferences on Conceptual Structures (ICCS) focus on
the formal analysis and representation of conceptual knowledge at the
crossroads of artificial intelligence, human cognition, computational
linguistics, and related areas of computer science and cognitive
science. The ICCS conferences evolved from seven annual workshops on
conceptual graphs, starting with an informal gathering hosted by John F.
Sowa in 1986. Recently, graph-based knowledge representation and
reasoning (KRR) paradigms have been getting more and more attention.
With the rise of quasi-autonomous AI, graph-based representations
provide a vehicle for making machine cognition explicit to human users.
ICCS 2023 will take place in Berlin, Germany, in September 2023.
Scholars, students and industry participants from different disciplines
will meet for several weeks of conferences, workshops, summer schools,
and public events to engage with the broad topics, issues and challenges
related to knowledge in the 21st century.
Submissions are invited on significant, original, and previously
unpublished research on the formal analysis and representation of
conceptual knowledge in artificial intelligence (AI). All papers will
receive mindful and rigorous reviews that will provide authors with
useful critical feedback. The aim of the ICCS 2023 conference is to
build upon its long-standing expertise in graph-based KRR and focus on
providing modelling, formal and application results of graph-based
systems. In particular, the conference welcomes contributions that
address graph-based representation and reasoning paradigms (e.g.
Bayesian Networks (BNs), Semantic Networks (SNs), RDF(S), Conceptual
Graphs (CGs), Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), CP-Nets, GAI-Nets, Graph
Databases, Diagrams, Knowledge Graphs, Semantic Web, etc.) from a
modelling, theoretical and application viewpoint.

Hi Everyone,
There is only about a week left to submit your program idea for Wikimania 2023. Whether in person in Singapore or online wherever you are, pre-recorded or live, an interactive workshop, panel discussion, lecture, lightning talk or an awesome poster, submissions close Tuesday, March 28.
The theme for this year's Wikimania is "Diversity, Collaboration, Future", and there are 11 tracks to choose from including Research under the "Research, Science and Medicine" Track.
Take a look at more than 100 submissions (https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimania_2023_Program_submis…) already received, perhaps you’ll discover an opportunity to collaborate with a fellow Wikimedian. As of this writing, there are three (3) submissions under the "Research, Science and Medicine" Track: https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimania_2023_Program_submis… . Maybe yours is the one we are looking for!

Dear all,
Excited to share that my article "Investigating the potential of the
semantic web for education: Exploring Wikidata as a learning platform
<https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10639-023-11664-1>" has finally
been published in an excellent journal "Education and Information
Technologies" by Springer Nature. This has been a long time coming, and
essentially the very first publication directly from my PhD research.
It's worth noting that to those who know Wikidata, the article would
probably not share anything new you haven't heard before; but it really was
a missing piece in academic research, in terms of making the case for
Wikidata as a learning platform for educators and researchers who are not
familiar with it, so it's really great to finally have such a resource
available.
It's also a good moment to thank again the amazing Wikidata Community, and
specifically all the people who filled out the questionnaire way back when
and later interviewed, for this to happen. In this specific article, I was
directly drawing from the work of Martin Poulter, Richard Knipel & Andrew
Lih, João Alexandre Peschanski, Toby Hudson & Daniel Mietchen.
Thank you all for the inspiration!
Best,
Shani.
PS -- if you can't view the link and are interested, do drop me a line and
I'll send the PDF your way.
