QuWi: Quality Control in Wikipedia - scientific work about Wikipedia quality published in 2009, written by Alberto Cusinato, Vincenzo Della Mea, Francesco Di Salvatore and Stefano Mizzaro.
Overview
Autors propose and evaluate QuWi (Quality in Wikipedia), a framework for quality control in Wikipedia. Authors build upon a previous proposal by Mizzaro [11], who proposed a method for substituting and/or complementing peer review in scholarly publishing. Since articles in Wikipedia are never finished, and their authors change continuously, authors define a modified algorithm that takes into account the different domain, with particular attention to the fact that authors contribute identifiable pieces of information that can be further modified by other authors. The algorithm assigns quality scores to articles and contributors. The scores assigned to articles can be used, e.g., to let the reader understand how reliable are the articles he or she is looking at, or to help contributors in identifying low quality articles to be enhanced. The scores assigned to users measure the average quality of their contributions to Wikipedia and can be used, e.g., for conflict resolution policies based on the quality of involved users. Their proposed algorithm is experimentally evaluated by analyzing the obtained quality scores on articles for deletion and featured articles, also on six temporal Wikipedia snapshots.
