Re: Feedback request: Project to show bias in wikipedia articles

One more question I have is, if you had to calculate a "bias score" for a user in an automated way, how would you do it? This would be a difficult question but I can share some general pointers: a) if they focus in a very narrow subject area b) and get into editwars and are reverted frequently c) o...
