Wikipedia Admin Election Votes Signed Network (NDS-VU)
A NDS-VU signed network repository dataset of 7,116 Wikipedia users and 100,693 signed RfA vote edges, collected by NDS-VU from Wikipedia RfA archives. Each record contains directed signed edges between nodes: sign (+1 or -1) representing positive/negative relationships; no edge weights beyond binary sign. Signed network of Wikipedia requests for adminship (RfA) votes where edges represent support (+1) or oppose (-1) votes cast during admin election campaigns, enabling trust and reputation analysis in collaborative platforms. Suitable for signed network analysis, reputation systems, voting behavior, trust modeling.
