The Influence of Network Structures of Wikipedia Discussion Pages on the Efficiency of Wikiprojects - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2015, written by Xiangju Qin, Pádraig Cunningham and Michael Salter-Townshend.
Overview
a b s t r a c t As a platform for discussion and communication, talk pages play an essential role in Wikipedia to facilitate coordination, sharing of information and knowledge resources among Wikipedians. In this work authors explore the influence of network structures of these pages on the efficiency of WikiProjects. Project efficiency is measured as the amount of work done by project members in a quarter. The study uses the comments on WikiProject talk pages to construct communication networks. The structural properties of these networks are studied using ideas from social network theory. Authors develop three hypotheses about how network structures influence project effectiveness and examine the hypotheses using a longitudinal dataset of 362 WikiProjects. The evaluation suggests that an intermediate level of cohesion with a core of influential users dominating network flow improves effectiveness for a WikiProject, and that greater average membership tenure relates to project efficiency in a positive way. Authors discuss the implications of this analysis for the future management of WikiProjects.
