There is No Deadline: Time Evolution of Wikipedia Discussions - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2012, written by Andreas Kaltenbrunner and David Laniado.

Overview

Wikipedia articles are by definition never finished: at any moment their content can be edited, or discussed in the associated talk pages. In this study authors analyse the evolution of these discussions to unveil patterns of collective participation along the temporal dimension, and to shed light on the process of content creation on different topics. At a micro-scale, authors investigate peaks in the discussion activity and authors observe a non-trivial relationship with edit activity. At a larger scale, authors introduce a measure to account for how fast discussions grow in complexity, and authors find speeds that span three orders of magnitude for different articles. Authors analysis should help the community in tasks such as early detection of controversies and assessment of discussion maturity.
