The WMF, in collaboration with several volunteers and researchers, has released a new artificial intelligence service designed to improve the way editors maintain the quality of Wikipedia. This service empowers Wikipedia editors by helping them discover damaging edits and can be used to immediately “score” the quality of any Wikipedia article. We’ve made this artificial intelligence available as an open web service that anyone can use.

On s'est rédacte Wikipédia environ de un démi-million fois par jour. Pour entretenir la qualité de Wikipédia, les wikipédiens ont besoin d'examiner constamment ce tuyau de content nouveau. Les fonctions du Service d'évaluation de révision objective (SERO) comme lunettes des rayons X, le jouet promu aux magasins de nouveauté et au fond des bandes désinées–mais ces lunettes marchent en fait d'éclairer rédactions potentiellement malfaisantes pour les rédacteurs. Ceci permet les rédacteurs de les trier du torrent des rédactions nouvelles et les examiner avec scrutiné augmentée.

En combinant les données libres et l'apprentissage d'algorithmes par des machines open source, notre but est de rendre plus transparent le contrôle qualité dans Wikipedia, plus maintenable et facile à utiliser.

Noue esperons qu'ORES permettra avancements critiques à comment nous faisons contrôle qualité–les changes que laissera la contôle qualité marche avec plus d'efficace et que laissera Wikipédia un endroit plus accueillant pour rédacteurs nouvelles.

Nous avons testé le service pendant quelques mois et plus d'une douzaine d'outils et de services d'édition l'utilisent déjà. Nous sommes en passe de dépasser ce qui existe actuellement de par l'acuité de nos prédictions. Le service est déjà en ligne actuellement et prêt pour vos expérimentations.

This week, the Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) recommended the distribution of almost $3.8 million to 11 independent affiliate organisations around the world. This committee is composed of nine elected and appointed volunteers from countries around the world; each has been editing Wikimedia projects for over a decade, and this round of recommendations is the first of two they will conduct in the Annual Plan Grant (APG) 2015–16 process.

Google Summer of Code and Outreachy are two software development internship programs that Wikimedia participates in every year. For the last nine years, college students have applied to be a part of the coding summer, one of many outreach programs operated by the Wikimedia Foundation.

Pour la première fois, tous les projets Wikimedia qui passaient l'évaluation ont été immédiatement déployés dans la production ou Wikimedia Labs. Les voici:

  • TranslateWiki is a popular translation platform used by many projects across Wikimedia and several times as many outside it. Originally developed single-handedly by Niklas Laxström, the platform has expanded significantly since its launch in 2006. This project aims to add a Search feature to the Translate extension.
  • Crosswatch is a cross-wiki watchlist for all Wikimedia wikis. The goal of the project is to help editors who are active in several wikis to monitor changes and generally to provide a better watchlist for all editors.
  • Wikivoyage has a special preference for showing page wide banners at the top of each of their articles to enhance their aesthetic appeal. An example of such a banner can be seen here. The project is all about addressing these issues and adding capabilities through a Mediawiki extension to take the banner experience to the next level.
  • LanguageTool is an extension for VisualEditor that enables language proofing support in about twenty languages.
  • Newsletter Extension for MediaWiki offers a catalog with all the newsletters available in a wiki farm, and the possibility to subscribe/unsubscribe and receive notifications without having to visit or be an active editor of any wiki.
  • ve-graph is a module within the Graph extension that aims to bring graph editing tools to VisualEditor in order to bridge the gap between editors and Vega, the visualization engine powering graphs in MediaWiki pages.

  • November was a big month for Wikipedians and tech. The Wikimedia Foundation put on X-ray specs to improve quality control with a new artificial intelligence system. And interns' apps from the Google Summer of Code began to work on Wiki projects.
  • Dans le cas où vous l'auriez manqué: En Novembre Wikipedia mis sur les spécifications X-ray pour améliorer le contrôle de la qualité avec l'intelligence artificielle.
