Learning Through Massively Co-Authored Biographies: Making Sense of Steve Jobs on Wikipedia Through Delegated Voice - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2013, written by Cosima Rughinis and Stefania Matei.

Overview

This paper discusses opportunities for learning about biographies through Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopaedia. Authors examine argumentation and interpretation practices in Steve Jobs's entry and its associated Talk pages, focusing on editors' debates on whether Jobs was an “inventor”. Authors highlight argumentation from delegated voice as a core element of Wikipedian knowledge building; contributors' variable skills in engaging this NPOV mandated requirement account for their success or failure in promoting changes in page content and structure. Editors' concerns about topic relevance and page structure are particularly vulnerable to counter-argumentation from delegated voice.
