Identifying Featured Articles in Wikipedia: Writing Style Matters - scientific work about Wikipedia quality published in 2010, written by Nedim Lipka and Benno Maria Stein.

Overview

Wikipedia provides an information quality assessment model with criteria for human peer reviewers to identify featured articles. For this classification task "Is an article featured or not?" authors present a machine learning approach that exploits an article's character trigram distribution. Their approach differs from existing research in that it aims to writing style rather than evaluating meta features like the edit history. The approach is robust, straightforward to implement, and outperforms existing solutions. Authors underpin these claims by an experiment design where, among others, the domain transferability is analyzed. The achieved performances in terms of the F-measure for featured articles are 0.964 within a single Wikipedia domain and 0.880 in a domain transfer situation.
