Hi,
"Kate's tools" are currently not available - I am searching for some
information about it because I want to cite it in my Wikipedia research
paper. Most important: Who is kate (full name)?
I'd rather not be mentioned by name, if that's possible.
Here is the paragraph I want to write:
---------
You can easily create user profiles out of the list of
all user
contributions but de-personalisation is absolutely necessary because of
privacy. Kate .... wrote a tool where every Wikipedia user can watch his
profile graphically and make it available if he wants[1].
[1] See
http://wikimedia.org/~kate/ for a link to
"count number of edits
from a user". The application is currently not online because of server
problems.
An older version of this tool is available at
<http://zwinger.wikimedia.org/~kate/cgi-bin/count_edits.cgi>. This doesn't
include the edit history graphs, which won't be returning in the forseeable
future.
------------
You can also correct my bad English!
I am also interested in "Six degrees of
Wikipedia". If you could take a
random sample of well...around 1.000 article pairs and send me a
histogram of distances - that would be *really* great!
The source for the links daemon can be found at
<http://wikimedia.org/~kate/linksd>. Feeding 1000 articles to it from the
database should be quite easy.
Thanks a lot,
Jakob
Kate.
