Wikipedia has become one of the most important information resources on the Web by promoting peer collaboration and enabling virtually anyone to edit anything. However, this mutability also leads many to distrust it as a reliable source of information. Although there have been many attempts at developing metrics to help users judge the trustworthiness of content, it is unknown how much impact such [[measures]] can have on a system that is perceived as inherently unstable. Here authors examine whether a visualization that exposes hidden article information can impact readers' perceptions of trustworthiness in a wiki environment. Authors results suggest that surfacing information relevant to the stability of the article and the patterns of editor behavior can have a significant impact on users' trust across a variety of page types.

Can You Ever Trust a Wiki?: Impacting Perceived Trustworthiness in Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2008, written by Aniket Kittur, Bongwon Suh and Ed H. Chi.

Overview

Wikipedia has become one of the most important information resources on the Web by promoting peer collaboration and enabling virtually anyone to edit anything. However, this mutability also leads many to distrust it as a reliable source of information. Although there have been many attempts at developing metrics to help users judge the trustworthiness of content, it is unknown how much impact such measures can have on a system that is perceived as inherently unstable. Here authors examine whether a visualization that exposes hidden article information can impact readers' perceptions of trustworthiness in a wiki environment. Authors results suggest that surfacing information relevant to the stability of the article and the patterns of editor behavior can have a significant impact on users' trust across a variety of page types.
