We are a team of researchers from the University of Turin, the Stanford University, the EPFL and the Wikimedia Foundation.
We are conducting research on how people read Wikipedia articles and we would like you to participate in this research by completing the following game.
This game is easy and fun:
- You are given two Wikipedia articles*.
- Starting from the first article, your goal is to reach the second one, exclusively by following links in the articles you encounter. (For the articles you are given this is always possible.)
- Links you can take are colored like this.
- We ask you to be as quick as possible.
- Feel free to complete as many games as you wish!
- Next to wasting some precious time and learning interesting yet useless Wikipedia facts, you're also providing data for our research.
* The articles have been borrowed from a 4,600-article version of Wikipedia that was once available at schools-wikipedia.org.
Note: We do not collect any personal information (name, email address, IP address, etc.) or set any cookie. The data we collect will be used for the purpose of this research only.
