The Dynamic Nature of Conflict in Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2014, written by Yérali Gandica, F. Sampaio dos Aidos and João Carvalho.
Overview
The voluntary process of Wikipedia edition provides an environment in which the outcome is clearly a collective product of interactions involving a large number of people. Authors propose a simple agent-based model, developed from real data, to reproduce the collaborative process of Wikipedia edition. With a small number of simple ingredients, model mimics several interesting features of real human behaviour, namely in the context of edit wars. Authors show that the level of conflict is determined by a tolerance parameter, which measures the editors' capability to accept different opinions and to change their own opinion. Authors propose to measure conflict with a parameter based on mutual reverts, which increases only in contentious situations. Using this parameter, authors find a distribution for the inter-peace periods that is heavy tailed. The effects of wiki-robots in the conflict levels and in the edition patterns are also studied. Authors findings are compared with previous parameters used to measure conflicts in edit wars.
