Beyond the Encyclopedia: Collective Memories in Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2014, written by Michela Ferron and Paolo Massa.
Overview
Collective memory processes have been studied from many different perspectives. For example, while psychology has investigated collaborative recall in small groups, other research traditions have focused on flashbulb memories or on the cultural processes involved in the formation of collective memories of entire nations. In this article, considering the online encyclopedia Wikipedia as a global memory place, authors analyze online commemoration patterns of traumatic events. Authors extracted 88 articles and talk pages related to traumatic events, and using logistic regression, authors analyzed their edit activity comparing it with more than 370,000 other Wikipedia pages. Results show that the relative amount of edits during anniversaries can significantly distinguish between pages related to traumatic events and other pages. The logistic regression results, together with the transcription of a group of messages exchanged by the users during the anniversaries of the September 11 attacks and the Virginia Tech massacre, su...
