Discovering Missing Links in Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2005, written by Sisay Fissaha Adafre and Maarten de Rijke.

Overview

In this paper authors address the problem of discovering missing hypertext links in Wikipedia. The method authors propose consists of two steps: first, authors compute a cluster of highly similar pages around a given page, and then authors identify candidate links from those similar pages that might be missing on the given page. The main innovation is in the algorithm that authors use for identifying similar pages, LTRank, which ranks pages using co-citation and page title information. Both LTRank and the link discovery method are manually evaluated and show acceptable results, especially given the simplicity of the methods and conservativeness of the evaluation criteria.
