Scale-Free Topology of the Interlanguage Links in Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2009, written by Łukasz Bolikowski.
Overview
The interlanguage links in Wikipedia connect pages on the same subject written in different languages. In theory, each connected component should be a clique and cover one topic. However, incoherent edits and obvious mistakes result in topic coalescence, yielding a non-trivial topology that is studied in this paper. Authors show that the component size distribution obeys the power law, and authors explain anomalies in the distribution as results of certain edit conventions. Next, authors propose a method of filtering out the cliques and study basic properties of the resulting skeleton, which turns out to be scale-free.
