A repository that includes the code for experiments for paper "Characterizing Knowledge Manipulation in a Russian Wikipedia Fork" accepted to ICWSM'25.
In the paper, we analyze the edits made by editors of the Russian Wikipedia Fork (RWFork, ruwiki.ru) to the original Russian Wikipedia articles between May and September 2023.
The final curated dataset is available at - Zenodo:
- 01-relevance_evaluation.ipynb code used for answering RQ1 (Evaluating the RELEVANCE OF CHANGED ARTICLES).
- 02-NE-EDA.ipynb code with analysis of named entities changes in text. (RQ2)
- 03-temporal-analysis.ipynb code for temporal patterns analysis in editing activity. (RQ2)
- 04-geospatial_topic_analysis_references.ipynb code for analysis of patterns in categories, topics, locations. (RQ2)
- 05-iterative_clustering.ipynb code for clustering changes and defining changes taxonomy. (RQ3)
