Examining the "Leftness" Property of Wikipedia Categories - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2011, written by Karl Gyllstrom and Marie-Francine Moens.

Overview

Wikipedia's rich category structure has helped make it one of the largest semantic taxonomies in existence, a property that has been central to much recent research. However, Wikipedia's category representation is simplistic: an article contains a single list of categories, with no data about their relative importance. Authors investigate the ordering of category lists to determine how a category's position in the list correlates with its relevance to the article and overall significance. Authors identify a number of interesting connections between a category's position and its persistence within the article, age, popularity, size, and descriptiveness.
