Hi Dario&Jake,
Thanks for sharing the plan. Any possibility to include in the plan a
system to archive all reference URLs and external identifiers linked from
Wikidata?
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T143488
Additionally I think it would be interesting to have some research done on
which references are DISPLAYED or CLICKED the most on several Wikipedias.
We know already which sources are cited the most, but on which sources do
users hover their mouse the most? Can we also identify which statements are
involved? It could be used to expand them, improve them, or add more
context.
Finally I believe it would be that a tool to assess the
openness/accessibility of the sources of any given article could be really
interesting.
Regards,
Micru

Hey all,
(apologies for cross-posting)
We’re sharing a proposed program
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technology/Annual_Plans/FY2019/CDP3:_Knowledge_Integrity>
for the Wikimedia Foundation’s upcoming fiscal year
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_Plan/2018-2019/Draft>
(2018-19) and *would love to hear from you*. This plan builds
extensively on projects and initiatives driven by volunteer contributors
and organizations in the Wikimedia movement, so your input is critical.
Why a “knowledge integrity” program?
Increased global attention is directed at the problem of misinformation
and how media consumers are struggling to distinguish fact from fiction.
Meanwhile, thanks to the sources they cite, Wikimedia projects are uniquely
positioned as a reliable gateway to accessing quality information in the
broader knowledge ecosystem. How can we mobilize these citations as a
resource and turn them into a broader, linked infrastructure of trust to
serve the entire internet? Free knowledge grounds itself in verifiability
and transparent attribution policies. Let’s look at 4 data points as
- Wikipedia sends tens of millions of people to external sources each
year. We want to conduct research to understand why and how readers leave
our site.
- The Internet Archive has fixed over 4 million dead links on
Wikipedia. We want to enable instantaneous archiving of every link on all
Wikipedias to ensure the long-term preservation of the sources Wikipedians
cite.
- #1Lib1Ref reaches 6 million people on social media. We want to bring
#1Lib1Ref to Wikidata and more languages, spreading the message that
references improve quality.
- 33% of Wikidata items represent sources (journals, books, works). We
want to strengthen community efforts to build a high-quality, collaborative
database of all cited and citable sources.
A 5-year vision
Our 5-year vision for the Knowledge Integrity program is to establish
Wikimedia as the hub of a federated, trusted knowledge ecosystem. We plan
- A roadmap to a mature, technically and socially scalable, central
repository of sources.
- Developed network of partners and technical collaborators to
contribute to and reuse data about citations.
- Increased public awareness of Wikimedia’s vital role in information
literacy and fact-checking.
5 directions for 2018-2019
We have identified 5 levers of Knowledge Integrity: research,
infrastructure and tooling, access and preservation, outreach, and
1. Continue to conduct research to understand how readers access
sources and how to help contributors improve citation quality.
2. Improve tools for linking information to external sources,
catalogs, and repositories.
3. Ensure resources cited across Wikimedia projects are accessible in
perpetuity.
4. Grow outreach and partnerships to scale community and technical
efforts to improve the structure and quality of citations.
5. Increase public awareness of the processes Wikimedians follow to
verify information and articulate a collective vision for a trustable web.
Who is involved?
- Wikimedia Foundation Technology’s Research Team
- Wikimedia Foundation Community Engagement’s Programs team (Wikipedia
Library)
- Wikimedia Deutschland Engineering’s Wikidata team
The initiative also spans across an ecosystem of possible partners
including the Internet Archive, ContentMine, Crossref, OCLC, OpenCitations,
and Zotero. It is further made possible by funders including the Sloan,
Gordon and Betty Moore, and Simons Foundations who have been supporting the
WikiCite initiative to date.
How you can participate
You can read the fine details of our proposed year-1 plan, and provide
your feedback, on mediawiki.org: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_
Technology/Annual_Plans/FY2019/CDP3:_Knowledge_Integrity
We’ve also created a brief introductory slidedeck about our motivation and
goals: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Knowledge_Integrity_CDP_
proposal_%E2%80%93_FY2018-19.pdf
WikiCite has laid the groundwork for many of these efforts. Read last

Recent initiatives like the just released citation dataset foreshadow the
work we want to do: https://medium.com/freely-
sharing-the-sum-of-all-knowledge/what-are-the-ten-most-
cited-sources-on-wikipedia-lets-ask-the-data-34071478785a
Lastly, this April we’re celebrating Open Citations Month; it’s right in
the spirit of Knowledge Integrity: https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/04/02/
