I want the equivalent of Mythos for Wikipedia - I want world-class tooling that helps human editors efficiently find, prioritize, and mitigate attempts to add deceptive and low-quality content - and I know it's possible to build this kind of thing. A whole bunch of long-time editors, including myself, are excited about building better tools, trying a range of experiments. This is one of the really fun parts about a community-built encyclopedia: you can help build tools too! A few interesting experiments - you can also use these as a Wikipedia reader (some require logging in): * Cite Unseen (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cite_Unseen https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cite_Unseen): show icons in an article's References section that indicate what the Wikipedia community knows about that source, such as whether a website is a known unreliable source - such as whether a source is banned on Russian and/or Ukrainian Wikipedia. [https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/kevinpayravi/cite-unseen https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/kevinpayravi/cite-unseen] * AI Source Verification (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Alaexis/AI_Source_Verification https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Alaexis/AI_Source_Verific...): use LLMs to help check whether the citations in an article support the claims, providing a summarized report.

[https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/toolforge-repos/microtask-generator https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/toolforge-repos/microtask-gener...] * WikiTask Pro (https://nethahussain.github.io/wikitask-pro/ https://nethahussain.github.io/wikitask-pro/ + https://github.com/nethahussain/wikitask-pro https://github.com/nethahussain/wikitask-pro) - another approach to integrating signals to recommend potential edits to editors. There are also interesting conversations happening about developing and maintaining better data about questionable sources - check out this amazing compilation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kuru/fakesources https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kuru/fakesources Some places to stay in touch with these things if you're interested: https://www.wikicred.org/ https://www.wikicred.org/ + https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_AI_Tools https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_AI_Tools (not all of these kinds of tools involve AI, but it's a component of various things people are working on).
