Abstract

We present WICLEAN, a Wikipedia plug-in that supports the identification and cleaning of certain types of errors in Wikipedia interlinks. The system mines update patterns inWikipedia revision logs, identifies the common time frames in which they occur, and employs them to signal incomplete/inconsistent updates and suggests corrections. We demonstrate the effectiveness of WICLEAN in identifying actual errors in a variety of Wikipedia entity types, interactively employing the VLDB'19 audience as editors to correct the identified errors.
