Measuring Wikipedia: a Hands-On Tutorial - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2009, written by Luca de Alfaro and Felipe Ortega.

Overview

This tutorial is an introduction to the best methodologies, tools and practices for Wikipedia research . The tutorial will be led by Luca de Alfaro (Wiki Lab at UCSC, California, USA) and Felipe Ortega (Libresoft, URJC, Madrid, Spain). Both cumulate several years of practical experience exploring and processing Wikipedia data [1], [2], [3]. As well, their respective research groups have led the development of two cutting-edge software tools (WikiTrust and WikiXRay), for analyzing Wikipedia. WikiTrust implements an author reputation system, and a text trust system, for wikis. WikiXRay is a tool automating the quantitative analysis of any language version of Wikipedia (in general, any wiki based on MediaWiki).
