Characterizing Wikipedia Pages Using Edit Network Motif Profiles - scientific work about Wikipedia quality published in 2011, written by Guangyu Wu, Martin Harrigan and Padraig Cunningham.

Overview

Good Wikipedia articles are authoritative sources due to the collaboration of a number of knowledgeable contributors. This is the many eyes idea. The edit network associated with a Wikipedia article can tell us something about its quality or authoritativeness. In this paper authors explore the hypothesis that the characteristics of this edit network are predictive of the quality of the corresponding article's content. Authors characterize the edit network using a profile of network motifs and authors show that this network motif profile is predictive of the Wikipedia quality classes assigned to articles by Wikipedia editors. Authors further show that the network motif profile can identify outlier articles particularly in the 'Featured Article' class, the highest Wikipedia quality class.
