Hello everyone, I'm currently working on Gourd mouth organ and please feel free to give me any advice and suggestions! Thank you very much! Ryssian (talk) 23:46, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi everyone! I am currently working on Rice production in China and would greatly appreciate your help with assessing my work. Do reach out to me Avoandtoast (talk)!

Hi! I am currently working on Jinsha site and would also appreciate an assessment on my contribution. Please feel free to proof-read, give recommendations and comments on my work. --Anninarose (talk) 13:14, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello! I have expanded the article Wenyuan Yinghua quite considerably, should it perhaps be re-assessed to Start-class? I would also appreciate it if you comment on my work. GoodguyDavid (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 03:49, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Automated assessment of article importance

Hello everyone! I'm currently working on a project with Aaron Halfaker where we are studying how to do automated classification of article importance. In case you're wondering who I am and why I'm the one working on this, I've added a short explanation of that at the end of this post.

One of our project's goals is to make article importance predictions for articles within a specific WikiProject, and we have been making good progress towards that goal. We are now reaching out to a handful of WikiProjects to learn more about how useful and accurate our models are. These projects were chosen because almost all of them mention what the "average Wikipedia reader" is likely to look up as a criterion when determining article importance, a concept that corresponds to our usage of article views as input in our model, and because they have a large number of articles rated as "unknown importance", something we can build tools to assist with. WikiProject China is one of these projects, which is why I'm posting here.

During the past week I have been working on building a model that predicts the importance ratings of articles within the scope of WikiProject China. The model uses data such as number of article views, number of inlinks from other articles (and what proportion of those come from within the WikiProject), as well as information from the clickstream dataset. I have created a page listing almost 100 articles where our model believes the importance rating of a given article should change, you can find that list here: User:SuggestBot/WikiProject China#Candidates for re-rating

We'd love to know whether our predictions are accurate or useful. For instance, you might find that a prediction is not spot on, but enough to warrant changing the rating of a given article (e.g. we might predict Top-importance for an article that should be High-importance, but if it is currently rated Low-importance both cases warrant an update of that rating). If our predictions are wrong, please let us know about that too! There might be aspects of importance that our model does not catch and we want to understand what those are so we can see if there are ways to fix them.

While working on building this model, I also identified many pages within the scope of WikiProject China that appear to need an update of their importance rating. These pages are also listed on the page linked above. For example there are many redirects and disambiguation pages that do not have an NA ("not an article") rating, and I've updated the rating of some of them. I have also identified some articles that do not appear to have a matching Wikidata item, or where the Wikidata item is labelled a "Wikimedia disambiguation page".

As I mentioned in the introduction, in case you’re wondering who I am and why I'm the one working on this: as part of my PhD I studied using machine learning to predict article quality, and I helped develop parts of ORES to enable it to make article quality predictions. Besides doing research I also run SuggestBot, a bot which recommends you articles to edit, currently available in seven languages. Thanks for your time, and I’m looking forward to your thoughts and questions! Regards, Nettrom (talk) 23:17, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Activity?

I stumbled on this page recently, and I've been adding assessments to around 200 various articles for the past few hours. Is this page at all active? Curious to see if anyone has any advice or anything at all to discuss regarding assessments or WikiProject China in general. Bobbychan193 (talk) 07:38, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
