Wikipedia Requests for Adminship Signed Network Analyzed
A Wikipedia (online encyclopedia) dataset of 11,377 users and 196,614 directed signed votes (143,879 support, 40,667 oppose, 12,068 neutral) with 189,541 vote rationale texts, collected by West and Leskovec from Wikipedia's public adminship election records spanning 2003–2013, distributed by SNAP. Each record contains directed signed edges from voter to candidate: +1 support, -1 oppose, 0 neutral; election outcome per candidate (0/1); natural language vote rationale text per vote. The dataset is notable for its unique combination of signed network structure with natural language rationale text per edge, enabling joint graph and text analysis; one of the few real-world signed networks with explicit textual justifications for positive and negative links. Intended for research into signed network analysis, trust and reputation modeling, text-attributed graph research, opinion mining, link sign prediction with text features, and community detection in collaborative platforms.
