Wiki-Watch aims at enhancing the transparency of Wikipedia by proving the body of source material of each Wikipedia article. Based on scientific criteria, Wiki-Watch facilitates the assessment of each Wikipedia article. It is a central tool for anyone using Wikipedia. Especially for media professionals, Wiki-Watch serves as a research tool indicating lack of sources and evaluating the reliability of every single entry ever made, using WikiTrust's color code system to display the reputation of a text according to the reputation and number of revisions by users. We are thus helping to spot unrevised changes within Wikipedia's articles.
Furthermore, Wiki-Watch is shedding light on edit wars and deletions, as well as on the activities of administrators and power editors.
