CiteKnight – Your Wikipedia watchdog for smarter, sharper citations.
The problem CiteKnight solves
CiteKnight empowers Wikipedia editors to uphold community standards through smart, gamified feedback—ensuring every edit aligns with the code of conduct while making the process engaging and rewarding.
🚨 The Problem It Solves
Editing Wikipedia is powerful—but maintaining neutrality, accuracy, and citation integrity is challenging. Even experienced editors can:
Miss out on proper sourcing or NPOV (Neutral Point of View) issues
Overlook biased language or subtle tone violations
Forget to double-check whether their changes align with community standards
✅ How CiteKnight Helps
CiteKnight makes Wikipedia editing safer, smarter, and more fun by:
🧠 Automatically reviewing edits for citation gaps, bias, and tone violations
🎮 Gamifying the process with XP, badges, and feedback to make good editing rewarding
🚦 Providing real-time suggestions, helping new editors learn Wikipedia’s code of conduct
🔒 Reducing the risk of reverts or community flags by improving edit quality before submission
It's like having a personal watchdog + Wikipedia mentor—all in one sleek button.
Challenges we ran into
LLM Input Limitations
Large language models have strict input size limits.
✅ Solution: We used a diff package to extract only the edited content instead of passing the entire article. We also used the article’s summary and title to provide context, making the analysis concise yet accurate.
Citation Analysis Accuracy
It was tricky to get the LLM to reliably follow Wikipedia's sourcing standards.
✅ Solution: We fine-tuned our prompts based on actual Wikimedia citation policy, ensuring the LLM aligned with Wikipedia’s expectations on verifiability and reliability.
Gamification
Creating a rewarding and fair experience for editors through gamification was challenging.
✅ Solution: We designed a point and badge system tied directly to constructive edits, citations added, and adherence to community rules—keeping it fun but meaningful.
