Datasets:
Amazing work! Small request:
Hey, wanted to say thank you for doing such an incredible work for the benefit of the community.
Going over some of the data, I noticed that sometimes some of the image captions find their way into the text (sometimes in the beginning and sometimes in the middle, before/after paragraphs).
For example, let's compare "Alan Turing" in wikipedia simple between the 2023 "official" dump and your updated version (Can be found here https://huggingface.co/datasets/wikimedia/wikipedia/viewer/20231101.simple?views%5B%5D=_20231101simple&row=6 and here https://huggingface.co/datasets/omarkamali/wikipedia-monthly/viewer/20250801.simple?views%5B%5D=_20250801simple_train&row=6), we can see that there is a caption artifact at the beginning of your version not present in the older "official" version. This caption can be clearly seen in the actual wikipedia article here (https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing).
Do you by any chance have some idea on how to solve or mitigate this issue? I am assuming it is related to the processing pipeline?
Thank you again for all your amazing work!
Hey @orendar , thanks for the report!
I noticed the parsing issue as well. As I am using mwparserfromhell, this is either a misconfiguration on my side or a bug in the library. I am collecting test cases like the one you shared and see what I can do.
Hello @orendar , this issue is fixed in the latest version of the dataset, to follow your example, our version https://huggingface.co/datasets/omarkamali/wikipedia-monthly/viewer/20251201.simple?row=6 now matches the formatting of the original wikipedia https://huggingface.co/datasets/wikimedia/wikipedia/viewer/20231101.simple?views%5B%5D=_20231101simple&row=6
Thanks for reporting the issue! Please let me know if it's fully solved for you.
Great to see, thank you for the update!
I did notice a minor difference at the bottom - your version has "Category:" prepended - which I am not sure if is intentional or not but in any case is very minor and makes no difference, so thanks again.
You are right, great catch! I will try to move those fields to another column or remove them altogether. Thanks!
