Grants talk:Programs/Wikimedia Research Fund/Reducing the gender gap in AfD discussions: a semi-supervised learning approach
Add topic | We want to remind all participants on this discussion page that the Community Resources and Research Fund teams have specific expectations regarding discussion about proposals in this space. In the Community Resources team's behavioral expectations for this space, anyone with concerns about a proposal is welcome to express them in a constructive and supportive manner. However, to the extent that feedback is excessive, contains personalized and disparaging remarks about the applicant or their organization, or if the concerns are expressed in an hostile or punitive manner, they may be removed from the discussion page partially or entirely. Relatedly, participants should follow the Universal Code of Conduct, which contains the minimum level of guidelines for communications and behavior on Wikimedia projects. These expectations are important, we want to ensure that conversations about proposals in our funding programs are productive, that is, focused on building shared understanding and generally supporting applicants to improve their ideas and projects, regardless of what funding decision is made. |

Hi everyone.
In your proposal, you mentioned this: "This is still largely a manual process, and is especially hard for retrospective analyses, since the content of past deleted articles is generally not accessible". Can you please, detail more how do you plan to reach the deleted content?
Many thanks. Hiperterminal (talk) 09:27, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- Hello, thank you for the interest in our proposal! In short, we do not plan to access deleted content as far as this project is concerned. Our statement was a comment on the fact that this is a common obstacle for anyone who wishes to study deleted articles, as the contents of deleted articles is typically not accessible. Some people have managed to gain access to some deleted content through third parties, for example deletionpedia or the internet archive. Our goal is instead to rely on the text of the AfD discussion themselves, who are fully available, to build our ML pipeline. Hope this is more clear now, but if you have any other question please do not hesitate to ask! Junkie.dolphin (talk) 15:28, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

- The proposal mentions Tripodi (2021) and the proposers might be interested in the robust discussion of the paper that took place over at Women in Red

- Thank you for letting us know about this interesting discussion. Tripodi's work is indeed relevant to our project. It's great to see community members engage with academic research in this space and we do look forward to engaging with WiR and with any other members of the community interested in these topics.
