[Wikia-l] [Fwd: Re: [Wiki-research-l] Wikipedia colored according to trust]

Interesting stuff to look at.  I wonder if we could find something like 
this useful at Wikia... especially at the larger sites.  A lot of Wikia 
sites have very good high quality information but information that is 
generated without traditional encyclopedic sources.  It seems like trust 
rankings like this could be useful in that context.

Dear All,

we have a demo at http://wiki-trust.cse.ucsc.edu/ that features the
whole English Wikipedia, as of its February 6, 2007 snapshot, colored
according to text trust.
This is the first time that even we can look at how the "trust coloring"
looks on the whole of the Wikipedia!
We would be very interested in feedback (the
wikiquality-l at lists.wikimedia.org
<mailto:wikiquality-l at lists.wikimedia.org> mailing list is the best place).

If you find bugs, you can email us at
http://groups.google.com/group/wiki-trust
<http://groups.google.com/group/wiki-trust>

Happy Holidays!

Luca

PS: yes, we know, some images look off.  It is currently fairly
difficult for a site outside of the Wikipedia to fetch Wikipedia images
correctly.

PPS: there are going to be a few planned power outages on our campus in
the next days, so if the demo is off, try again later.
