Wikipedia information quality comparison between idioms

Source code and dataset from the first part of my 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 for the English Wikipedia, listed by WikiProject Medicine. The following idioms were assessed: English, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Bengali, French, Russian, Portuguese, Urdu, Indonesian, German, Japanese, Turkish, Persian, Korean, Italian, Greek, Hebrew, and Catalan. We have selected idioms available on Wikipedia with at least 100 million speakers as a native or second idiom. We also extended this collection to six other idioms for their cultural or medical importance.

First, all articles written in English were collected from the mentioned list. Data for articles written in other idioms other than English was obtained by following the idiom link in each of the English articles, and each of them was iteratively collected, using the MediaWiki API.

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