Wikipedia information quality assessment

Dataset from the second part of the Master Dissertation - "Avaliação da qualidade da Wikipédia enquanto fonte de informação em saúde" (Wikipedia quality assessment as health information source), at FEUP, in 2021. It contains the data collected to assess Wikipedia health-related articles for the 1000 most viewed articles listed by WikiProject Medicine, in English.

The MediaWiki API was used to collect the current state of the article’s contents and its metadata, revision history, language links, internal wiki links, and external links. Data not available through the API was obtained from the article’s markup. Besides the 7 metrics defined by Stvilia et al., other four proposed metrics and respective features were assessed.

This dataset can be used to analyze quality, but also other quantitative aspects of health-related articles from EnglishWikipedia.
