Turned the original WikiTrust algorithms into a functional MVP cross-browser extension in typescript and processing server backend in python. Our system can calculate a metric of accuracy or “consensus” for every word on Wikipedia using only the article’s revision history and author cross contributions. We hope WikiTrust will give readers & editors of Wikipedia better insight into the accuracy of statements and protect against content vandalism.
