The Conceptualisation of Femininity on English Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2014, written by Max Bäckström.

Overview

This study undertakes a quantitative and usage-based Cognitive Linguistic study on the representation and conceptualisation of FEMININITY on English Wikipedia. Contemporary information media are changing fundamentally and the place of Wikipedia in the new media space is important not only because of its influence but because it is radically different to traditional media. Unlike news press, the cinema industry or television, the information disseminated by Wikipedia is produced by the audience and this is done so with little or no control over content. That Wikipedia is as balanced and well composed as it is could be argued to be testimony to common sense and good will of humanity. However, little socio-cultural research has been down on exactly what kind of picture is emerging on Wikipedia. This study seeks to address this issue.
