Using the Wikipedia Link Structure to Correct the Wikipedia Link Structure - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2010, written by Benjamin Mark Pateman and Colin G. Johnson.

Overview

One of the valuable features of any collaboratively constructed semantic resource (CSR) is its ability to – as a system – continuously correct itself. Wikipedia is an excellent example of such a process, with vandalism and misinformation being removed or reverted in astonishing time by a coalition of human editors and machine bots. However, some errors are harder to spot than others, a problem which can lead to persistent unchecked errors, particularly on more obscure, less viewed article pages. In this paper authors discuss the problems of incorrect link targets in Wikipedia, and propose a method of automatically highlighting and correcting them using only the semantic information found in this encyclopaedia’s link structure.
