Wiki-Watch conducted and published a survey of administrators of German Wikipedia and blogs regularly about German Wikipedia problems. Wiki-Watch's site wiki-watch.org provides statistical insights on Wikipedia.[2][3][4][5][6]
Part of Wiki-Watch.org is a free software application for page analysis. This tool automatically assesses the formal reliability of Wikipedia articles in English and German. It produces a five-level evaluation score corresponding to its assessment of reliability.[7] Second, its "Exclusive Insight" shows what is occurring in Wikipedia in nearly realtime.[8] The Wiki-Watch blog spots current trends in Wikipedia and is a source of news coverage about the Wikipedia project.[9][10]
Wiki-Watch was developed at the Viadrina European University in Frankfurt an der Oder, Germany. The development team included professors Wolfgang Stock and Johannes Weberling [de].[7][11][12]
