Podcasters' picks

• • Emily - Still angry about crappy women scientist articles, this time with more data!
  • Fuzheado - What if we correlated most visited articles with C class or below?
  • James F. - media meta-data being turned into magic data, potentially onto Wikidata in time: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-August/071593.html
  • Ed - article creation bots, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2013-09-04/News_and_notes#In_brief / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2013-06-19/News_and_notes
