+# Dataset Card for incivility-arizona-daily-star-comments
+
+This is a collection of more than 6000 comments on Arizona Daily Star news articles from 2011 that have been manually annotated for various forms of incivility including aspersion, namecalling, sarcasm, and vulgarity.
+
+## Dataset Structure
+
+Each instance in the dataset corresponds to a single comment from a single commenter.
+
+An instance's `text` field contains the text of the comment with any quotes of other commenters removed.
+The remaining fields in each instance provide binary labels for each type of incivility annotated:
+`aspersion`, `hyperbole`, `lying`, `namecalling`, `noncooperation`, `offtopic`, `pejorative`, `sarcasm`, `vulgarity`, and `other_incivility`.
+
+The dataset provides three standard splits: `train`, `validation`, and `test`.
+
+## Dataset Creation
+
+The original annotation effort is described in:
+
+- Kevin Coe, Kate Kenski, Stephen A. Rains.
+  [Online and Uncivil? Patterns and Determinants of Incivility in Newspaper Website Comments](https://doi.org/10.1111/jcom.12104).
+  Journal of Communication, Volume 64, Issue 4, August 2014, Pages 658–679.
+
+That dataset was converted to a computer-friendly form as described in section 4.2.1 of:
+
+- Farig Sadeque.
+  [User behavior in social media: engagement, incivility, and depression](https://repository.arizona.edu/handle/10150/633192).
+  PhD thesis. The University of Arizona. 2019.
+
+The current upload is a 2023 conversion of that form to a huggingface Dataset.
+
+## Considerations for Using the Data
+
+The data is intended for the study of incivility.
+It should not be used to train models to generate incivility.
+
+The human coders and their trainers were mostly [Western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic (WEIRD)](https://www.nature.com/articles/466029a), which may have shaped how they evaluated incivility.
