Topic on Talk:ORES review tool

This is very useful for finding vandalism in recent changes and my watchlist (English Wikipedia) as edits likely to be problematic jump out at you in red... My issue is that the bar is perhaps a bit too low: half the screen is red sometimes and when I check an entry it is often simply an IP copy-editing or a new account (like mine) correctly adding info to an article.

First, am I right in assuming that the tool highlights mostly edits by IPs and new accounts?

Second, if so, is this because they are IPs/new? Or is it because those edits are more often actually problematic?

Third, I still haven't had my edits reviewed. I asked a couple of admins to do it but am still waiting for them to get back to me. I'll report back once they do get back.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

A series of changes to help out this issue got merged and deployed to the second group of wikis (All websites except Wikipedia). So you can see the result in Wikidata. (You need to enable ORES as a beta feature). It'll go to English Wikipedia tomorrow. Please give us feedback about it once it's deployed :) Thank you for using this tool.
