Talk:2019/Grants/Sourceror: The Wikipedia community's platform against disinformation

Additional Information Requested

Hi Newslinger, I really appreciate this application because, if successful, our project would probably like to use it; our NewsQ.net project has actually scraped and created a first version of what you propose here (https://newsq.net/newsq-signals/ -- search for Wikipedia, but the status is about to be updated to 'Collected'), but we'd much prefer using a Wikipedia generated API. Because it's tough! See below:

Based on our experience, here are a few questions:

• One of the challenges we had in terms of ingesting this data is the ways that sources are not always associated with websites, and applicability of the rating might only be on a subsection of the source -- an example of this are: Bloomberg or Fox News. Can you explain how you would handle? (Are there objects in WikiData that you would be tying to here, e.g.)
• Another challenge is Newsweek -- how might you represent the staged evaluations here in JSON?
• Blacklist -- is this worth *not* including, and rather encourage people to use whatever latest and greatest from the spam lists? If the blacklist status is being maintained by hand on the perennial sources lists, we thought it worth not including, in case of sync issues.

Thanks much for your thoughts. --Connie (talk) 19:05, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
