elec — Wikipedia adminship vote (2008)
- Description
Votes in the elections of administrators of the English Wikipedia, collected by J. Leskovec, D. Huttenlocher and J. Kleinberg. In order for a Wikipedia user to become an administrator, a Request for Adminship (RfA) is issued, and the community decides on the promotion by a public discussion or a vote. The data were extracted from the complete dump of the Wikipedia page edit history of 3 January 2008, and comprise 2,794 elections held between 2004 and 2008, of which 1,248 resulted in a promotion. Users may be candidates in more than one election.
Nodes are Wikipedia users that cast a vote, were candidates, or nominated a candidate, and a directed edge $(i,j)$ indicates that user $i$ voted in an election of candidate $j$. Each vote is an edge, so the network can contain parallel edges when a user voted in several elections of the same candidate. Some users voted in their own elections (72 self-loops). The 25 users that only appear as nominators have no edges. Some vote times are invalid (in the years 2061 to 2105), and are kept as they are in the source data. The time zone of the times is not documented; they are interpreted as UTC.
The network has the following properties:
user_id: the user ID in the source data.name: the user name (lowercased in the source data; in a few names a non-ASCII character is truncated in the source and replaced by U+FFFD).vote: the vote, $+1$ (support), $0$ (neutral) or $-1$ (oppose).time: the time of the vote, in Unix time.election: the number of the election (in the order of the source file, from 0).promoted: whether the election resulted in the promotion of the candidate.closed: the time the election was closed, in Unix time.nominator: the node index of the user that nominated the candidate, or $-1$ if unknown (2,117 elections).
