Mj No More: Using Concurrent Wikipedia Edit Spikes with Social Network Plausibility Checks for Breaking News Detection - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2013, written by Thomas Steiner, Seth van Hooland and Ed Summers.

Overview

Authors have developed an application called Wikipedia Live Monitor that monitors article edits on different language versions of Wikipedia--as they happen in realtime. Wikipedia articles in different languages are highly interlinked. For example, the English article "en:2013_Russian_meteor_event" on the topic of the February 15 meteoroid that exploded over the region of Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia, is interlinked with "ru:ПaДehne_meteopnta_ha_Ypajie_B_2013_roДy?, the Russian article on the same topic. As authors monitor multiple language versions of Wikipedia in parallel, authors can exploit this fact to detect concurrent edit spikes of Wikipedia articles covering the same topics, both in only one, and in different languages. Authors treat such concurrent edit spikes as signals for potential breaking news events, whose plausibility authors then check with full-text cross-language searches on multiple social networks. Unlike the reverse approach of monitoring social networks first, and potentially checking plausibility on Wikipedia second, the approach proposed in this paper has the advantage of being less prone to false-positive alerts, while being equally sensitive to true-positive events, however, at only a fraction of the processing cost. A live demo of application is available online at the URL http://wikipedia-irc.herokuapp.com/, the source code is available under the terms of the Apache 2.0 license at https://github.com/tomayac/wikipedia-irc.
