Is Wikipedia Really Neutral? a Sentiment Perspective Study of War-Related Wikipedia Articles Since 1945 - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2015, written by Yiwei Zhou, Alexandra I. Cristea and Zachary L. Roberts.
Overview
Wikipedia is supposed to be supporting the “Neutral Point of View”. Instead of accepting this statement as a fact, the current paper analyses its veracity by specifically analysing a typically controversial (negative) topic, such as war, and answering questions such as “Are there sentiment differences in how Wikipedia articles in different languages describe the same war?”. This paper tackles this challenge by proposing an automatic methodology based on article level and concept level sentiment analysis on multilingual Wikipedia articles. The results obtained so far show that reasons such as people’s feelings of involvement and empathy can lead to sentiment expression differences across multilingual Wikipedia on war-related topics; the more people contribute to an article on a war-related topic, the more extreme sentiment the article will express; different cultures also focus on different concepts about the same war and present different sentiments towards them. Moreover, research provides a framework for performing different levels of sentiment analysis on multilingual texts.
