Exploratory Search in Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2006, written by S. Fissaha Adafre and M. de Rijke.

Overview

Authors motivate the need for studying the search, discovery and retrieval requirements of Wikipedia users. Based on a sample from an experimental Wikipedia search engine, authors hypothesize that the fraction of Wikipedia searches that are exploratory in nature is at least the same as that of general web searches. Authors also describe a questionnaire for eliciting search, discovery and retrieval requirements from Wikipedia users.
