Identifying Shared Leadership in Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2011, written by Haiyi Zhu, Robert E. Kraut, Yi-Chia Wang and Aniket Kittur.

Overview

In this paper, authors introduce a method to measure shared leadership in Wikipedia as a step in developing a new model of online leadership. Authors show that editors with varying degrees of engagement and from peripheral as well as central roles all act like leaders, but that core and peripheral editors show different profiles of leadership behavior. Specifically, authors developed machine learning models to automatically identify four types of leadership behaviors from 4 million messages sent between Wikipedia editors. Authors found strong evidence of shared leadership in Wikipedia, with editors in peripheral roles producing a large proportion of leadership behaviors.
