Wikipedia Leeches? the Promotion of Traffic Through a Collaborative Web Format - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2009, written by Ganaele Langlois and Greg Elmer.
Overview
This article investigates the circulation of Wikipedia entries on the web in an effort to determine the integration of its collaborative model into existing proprietary web formats. In particular it details the use of Wikipedia content as 'tags' or information that is used to increase traffic to webpages through search engine results. Consequently, the article discusses the need to develop theoretical models that provide for an understanding of both content and form on the web, particularly as formatted by open-source legal frameworks.
