Wikipedia Politics Editor Signed Network (NDS-VU)
A NDS-VU signed network repository dataset of 138,588 Wikipedia editors and 715,883 signed interaction edges on political articles, collected by NDS-VU from Wikipedia edit history. Each record contains directed signed edges between nodes: sign (+1 or -1) representing positive/negative relationships; no edge weights beyond binary sign. Large signed network of Wikipedia editors working on political articles, capturing support and opposition relationships derived from edit patterns and talk page interactions in politically charged content areas. Suitable for political discourse analysis, signed network analysis, editor behavior.
