Circadian Patterns of Wikipedia Editorial Activity: a Demographic Analysis - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2012, written by Taha Yasseri, Robert Sumi, János Kertész and János Kertész.

Overview

Wikipedia (WP) as a collaborative, dynamical system of humans is an appropriate subject of social studies. Each single action of the members of this society, i.e., editors, is well recorded and accessible. Using the cumulative data of 34 Wikipedias in different languages, authors try to characterize and find the universalities and differences in temporal activity patterns of editors. Based on this data, authors estimate the geographical distribution of editors for each WP in the globe. Furthermore authors also clarify the differences among different groups of WPs, which originate in the variance of cultural and social features of the communities of editors.
