## Q1: What is the role of edit filters among existing algorithmic quality-control mechanisms on Wikipedia (bots, semi-automated tools, ORES, humans)?
Consider pasting the comparison table from chapter 4 here
* 1st mechanism activated to control quality (at the beginning of the funnel)
* historically: faster, by being a direct part of the core software: disallow
even before publishing
......@@ -132,7 +134,6 @@ manner.
* introduced to take care of obvious but cumbersome to remove vandalism
* people fed up with bot introduction and development processes (poor quality, no tests, no
code available for revision in case of problems) (so came up with a new approach)
* filter allow more easily for collaboration
* disallow certain types of obvious pervasive (perhaps automated) vandalism directly
* takes more than a single click to revert
* human editors can use their time more productively elsewhere

## Q2: Edit filters are a classical rule-based system. Why are they still active today when more sophisticated ML approaches exist?
* introduced before vandalism fighting ML systems came along (verify!); so they
* introduced before most vandalism fighting ML systems came along; so they
were there first historically; still work well; don't touch a running system^^
* a gap was perceived in the existing system which was filled with filters
* in functionality: disallow cumbersome vandalism from the start

* and easier to work with (easier to add yet another rule than tweak paremeters
in an obscure ML based approach)
* allows for finer levels of control than ML: i.e. disallowing specific users
* filter allow more easily for collaboration

## Q3: Which type of tasks do filters take over?
[add pics]
* in total most filters are hidden: so implemented with the purpose of taking care of
cumbersome vandalism by specific malicious users
* vandalism/good faith/maintenance

## Open Questions / Directions for future studies
maybe just an exceprt here?
- MR is merged: abuse_filter_history table is now available
* How have edit filters's tasks evolved over time? : should be easier to look

## Sum Up: Contributions?
* initial systematic investigation of filters and their role among other mechanisms
* codebook for classifying filters according to their task
* openly accessible artefacts: scripts for data analysis, etc.
* *abuse_filter_history* table
* questions for future research
