"We operationalize 'reference quality' by defining reference need (RN) as the % of sentences missing a citation, and reference risk (RR) as the proportion of non-authoritative references."
Longitudinal Assessment of Reference Quality on Wikipedia arxiv.org/abs/2303.05227
ALT The evolution of reference quality in Wikipedia. . Error bars represent the standard error. (Left) Reference need (RN) scores gradually decreased over the last decade, indicating an improved reference coverage of articles. The drop is nearly 20 percent point over the decade. (Right) Reference risk (RR) scores remain under 1% and show a decreasing trend in recent years, suggesting a reduction in the use of risky references after the introduction of the perennial sources list in 2018.

Congratulations to all the #CoolestToolAward winners, Citation Hunt and Scholia in particular, winners in the Newbie-friendly and Impact categories respectively. 🚀
The #CoolestToolAward celebrates software tools created and used by Wikimedia communities. This year's winners include tools that gamify the process of improving a @Wikipedia article, automate vandalism reporting, and more. ⬇️

Well this is a nice surprise. Checked in on the @BioDivLibrary Mix'n'match dataset where BHL creator ids are matched to Wikidata items. I've ticked over the 15,000 matches mark. #BHL #Wikidata

Zotero powers the lookup tools that make adding citations to @Wikipedia seamless and intuitive and it also supports community-driven integrations with the @Wikidata ecosystem. If you’re a Zotero contributor or power user, reach out to Brendan with your ideas 👇🏻
I’m starting a new position as Outreach Coordinator with @zotero! Librarians, I'd love to hear about how Zotero could better engage with its user community, and what kinds of training and materials (e.g. webinars, videos, etc.) could help you better teach Zotero to users!
The @wikidata corpus used by Scholia includes 38M scholarly articles and 23M main subject annotations. More statistics at scholia.toolforge.org/statis…
