Centrality and Content Creation in Networks: the Case of German Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2012, written by Michael E. Kummer, Marianne Saam, Iassen Halatchliyski and George Giorgidze.

Overview

When contributing content on large online platforms, producers of user-generated content have to decide where to contribute. On a complex and dynamic platform like Wikipedia, this decision is expected to depend on the way the content is organized. Authors analysed whether the hyperlinks on Wikipedia channel the attention of producers towards more central articles. Authors observed a sample 7,635 articles belonging to the category 'Economics' on German Wikipedia over 153 weeks and measured their centrality both within this category and in the network of over one million German Wikipedia articles. Authors analysis reveals that an additional link from the observed category is associated with around 140 bytes of additional content and with an increase in the number of authors by nearly 0.5. Moreover authors observed that the rate of content generation increases notably when previously unlinked articles get connected to the main cluster in the category.
