Biographical Social Networks on Wikipedia: a Cross-Cultural Study of Links That Made History - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2012, written by Pablo Aragón, David Laniado, Andreas Kaltenbrunner and Yana Volkovich.
Overview
It is arguable whether history is made by great men and women or vice versa, but undoubtably social connections shape history. Analysing Wikipedia, a global collective memory place, authors aim to understand how social links are recorded across cultures. Starting with the set of biographies in the English Wikipedia authors focus on the networks of links between these biographical articles on the 15 largest language Wikipedias. Authors detect the most central characters in these networks and point out culture-related peculiarities. Furthermore, authors reveal remarkable similarities between distinct groups of language Wikipedias and highlight the shared knowledge about connections between persons across cultures.
