Hi, I'm Dario. I am a researcher in social computing based in San Francisco. I joined the Wikimedia Foundation in December 2010 as a research consultant and as of 2011 as the Senior Research Analyst with the Foundation's Strategy Team. I am in charge of product development research for the Foundation and I coordinate Wikimedia's research outreach and research-related policies via the Research Committee. Prior to joining the Foundation I was a postdoctoral researcher at University College London and at the University of Surrey in the UK.
My work at Wikimedia
Some of the Wikimedia projects that I lead or in which I am involved include:
- a study and visualization of the longest Article for Deletion discussions;
- a survey to identify opportunities and barriers to expert participation in Wikipedia;
- research on the Article Feedback pilot (1 - 2 - 3) and the new generation of AFT (v5);
- the Wikimedia Research Committee, Wikimedia's research policy-making body;
- the Wikimedia Research Index: a new home for Wikimedia research;
- the Wikimedia Research Newsletter
: monthly updates from the scholarly literature on Wikimedia projects, in collaboration with the Signpost;
- WikiViz 2011: a data visualization challenge co-organized with WikiSym (read more on Jen Lowe's A Thousand Fibers Connect Us, the winning entry of the challenge);
- A series of real-time feedback data dashboards;
- The Wikipedia cite-o-meter: find scholarly citations by publisher in the top 100 Wikipedias.

My Wikipedia contributions
I have been a Wikipedia editor since 2004. As an open source and open science advocate as well as a TeX-addict, you may occasionally find me edit articles on open access and digital typography, but most of my contributions are about London in history and architecture (see for example: Smithfield, London ). Random love signals get filed here

My work sometimes involves interacting with the Wikimedia community or using Wikimedia wikis for documentation. However, unless otherwise stated, any edit to Wikimedia projects by myself is a reversible act of a regular member of the community.
