How Wikipedia spreads to other media
MADe
Wikipedia content is copied constantly. By examining how
errors in wiki content get copied to other sources, we can
determine the different ways in which these sources use
Wikipedia content.

20:20 Quality and Engagement: Making the Connection
Erik Moeller, Guillaume Paumier
Giving readers better tools to flag quality issues (with a specific
article or a specific edit), to praise authors, and to surface the
highest quality content, has the potential to gradually help many
more readers to become part of the Wikimedia community—
especially when combined with invitations and guidance along
the way. It also could dramatically scale our ability to assess and
improve content. This talk will summarize findings from quality
assessment and engagement experiments with the Article
Feedback Tool, and present conceptual workflows for a more
comprehensive toolset for quality assessment by readers, including
credentialed experts.

44:20 - An open-access and open-data policy for projects of the Wikimedia Foundation
Daniel Mietchen, Dario Taraborelli
As part of its mission to "develop educational content under
a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it
effectively and globally", the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) is
committed to promoting initiatives such as open access and open
data to foster the free reuse and dissemination of research data
and unconstrained access to research publications pertaining
to WMF activities. Open access and open data are initiatives
with major institutional support but their uptake amongst
researchers, though growing, remains low. The Wikimedia
Research Committee is currently drafting a policy to bridge the
gap between these initiatives and their current adoption in the
research community.

1:03:20 - Let's get local!
Sylvain Boissel
The "Non-Cabale de l'Ouest" (or NCO) is a group of
Wikipedia/Commons/Wikisource contributors meeting on a
(more than) weekly basis since 2008 (yes, that's more than one
and a half hundred IRLs) in Rennes to talk about the projects. In
this workshop, we will present some of our accomplishments,
and wish to discuss how local coordination can advance the
Wikimedia projects and increase one's involvement in the
Wikimedia movement.
