Dynamics of Conflicts in Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2012, written by Taha Yasseri, Robert Sumi, András Rung, András Kornai, András Kornai and János Kertész.

Overview

In this work authors study the dynamical features of editorial wars in Wikipedia (WP). Based on previously established algorithm, authors build up samples of controversial and peaceful articles and analyze the temporal characteristics of the activity in these samples. On short time scales, authors show that there is a clear correspondence between conflict and burstiness of activity patterns, and that memory effects play an important role in controversies. On long time scales, authors identify three distinct developmental patterns for the overall behavior of the articles. Authors are able to distinguish cases eventually leading to consensus from those cases where a compromise is far from achievable. Finally, authors analyze discussion networks and conclude that edit wars are mainly fought by few editors only.
