Formalization and Community Investment in Wikipedia's Regulating Texts: the Role of Essays - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2009, written by Jonathan T. Morgan, Katie Derthick, Toni Ferro, Elly Searle, Mark Zachry and Travis Kriplean.
Overview
This poster presents ongoing research on how discursive and editing behaviors are regulated on Wikipedia by means of documented rules and practices. Authors analysis focuses on three types of collaboratively-created policy document (policies, guidelines and essays), that have been formalized to different degrees and represent different degrees of community investment. Authors employ a content analysis methodology to explore how these regulating texts differ according to a) the aspects of editor behavior, content standards and community principles that they address, and b) how they are used by Wikipedians engaged in 'talk' page discussions to inform, persuade and coordinate with one another.
