Should Wikipedia and Quora Collaborate - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2016, written by Anamika Chhabra and S. R. S. Iyengar.
Overview
Although Wikipedia has been one of the most successful experiments in crowdsourced knowledge building so far, recent statistics show that the growth rate of Wikipedia has decreased. Does it indicate that Wikipedia has come against its limits of growth? A recent survey conducted by us, however, shows that Wikipedia is unable to satisfactorily answer the queries of the users many a times. Authors believe that the readers can provide a better insight into the shortcomings of the articles. This paper proposes the incorporation of a Q&A facility into Wikipedia as one of the possible measures to fill the knowledge gap. Authors created a local Wiki, named Q-Wiki, at institute, coupled with the features of Q&A. The experiment conducted on Q-Wiki verifies the effectiveness of the proposed idea.
