Identifying, Understanding and Detecting Recurring, Harmful Behavior Patterns in Collaborative Wikipedia Editing: Doctoral Proposal - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2013, written by Fabian Flöck.

Overview

In this doctoral proposal, authors describe an approach to identify recurring, collective behavioral mechanisms in the collaborative interactions of Wikipedia editors that have the potential to undermine the ideals of quality, neutrality and completeness of article content. Authors outline how authors plan to parametrize these patterns in order to understand their emergence and evolution and measure their effective impact on content production in Wikipedia. On top of these results authors intend to build end-user tools to increase the transparency of the evolution of articles and equip editors with more elaborated quality monitors. Authors also sketch out evaluation plans and report on already accomplished tasks.
