Willkommen bei Wikipedia Qualität,
Portal zu Konzepten, Forschungen und Dienstleistungen im Zusammenhang mit der Qualitätsbewertung der Mehrsprachigkeit Wikipedia.
Artikel zählen: 6.470
Anzahl der Wissenschaftler in jedem Land, die Forschung über die Wikipedia-Qualität.

Trotz der Tatsache, dass Wikipedia wegen seiner schlechten Qualität oft kritisiert wird, ist es immer noch eine der beliebtesten Wissensgrundlagen der Welt. Derzeit liegt diese Online-Enzyklopädie auf dem 5. Platz im Ranking der meistbesuchten Seiten (nach Google, Youtube, Facebook, Baidu). Artikel in dieser Enzyklopädie werden in etwa 300 verschiedenen Sprachen erstellt und bearbeitet. Derzeit enthält Wikipedia mehr als 48 Millionen Artikel zu verschiedenen Themen und Sprachen.

Jeden Tag wächst die Zahl der Artikel in Wikipedia. Sie können auch von anonymen Nutzern erstellt und bearbeitet werden. Die Autoren müssen ihre Fähigkeiten, ihre Ausbildung und ihre Erfahrungen in bestimmten Bereichen nicht formell unter Beweis stellen. Wikipedia hat weder eine zentrale Redaktion noch eine Gruppe von Gutachtern, die alle neuen und bestehenden Texte umfassend überprüfen könnten. Aus diesen und anderen Gründen kritisieren die Menschen oft das Konzept von Wikipedia, insbesondere den Hinweis auf die schlechte Informationsqualität.

Trotzdem findet man in Wikipedia manchmal wertvolle Informationen – je nach Sprachversion und Thema. Praktisch in jeder Sprachversion gibt es ein System von Auszeichnungen für die besten Artikel. Die Zahl dieser Artikel ist jedoch relativ gering (weniger als ein Prozent). In einigen Sprachversionen gibt es auch andere Qualitätsstufen. Die überwiegende Mehrheit der Artikel ist jedoch nicht ausgewertet worden (in einigen Sprachen mehr als 99%).

Automatische Qualitätsbewertung von Wikipedia-Artikeln

Wikipedia Qualität

So haben viele Artikel in Wikipedia keine Qualitätsqualitäten, daher sollte jeder Leser seinen Inhalt manuell analysieren. Die automatische Qualitätsbewertung von Wikipedia-Artikeln ist in der wissenschaftlichen Welt bekannt und weit verbreitet-Forscher aus über 50 Ländern veröffentlichten verschiedene Arbeiten zur Qualität von Wikipedia. Im Grunde beschreiben die wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten die am weitesten entwickelte Sprachversion von Wikipedia – Englisch, die bereits mehr als 5,5 Millionen Artikel enthält.

How do they come to such conclusions? Simply put: comparing good and bad articles.

As already mentioned earlier, in almost every language version of Wikipedia, there is a system of assessing the quality of articles. The best articles are awarded in a special way – they receive a special “badge”. In Russian Wikipedia such articles are called “Featured Articles” (FA). There is another “badge” for articles that slightly below the best ones – “Good articles” (GA). In some language versions, there are other estimates for more “weak” articles. For example, in English Wikipedia there are also: A-class, B-class, C-class, Start, Stub. On the other hand in Russian Wikipedia we can met the following additional grades: Solid, Full, Developed, In development, Stub.

Even on the example of the English and Russian versions, we can conclude that the standards for the grading scale are different and depends on the language. Moreover, not all language versions of Wikipedia have such a developed system of quality assessment of articles. For example, German Wikipedia, which contains more than 2 million articles, uses only two estimates – equivalents for FA and GA. Therefore, often assessments in scientific papers are grouped into two groups:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

  • ”Complete” – FA and GA grade,
  • ”Incomplete” – all other grades

Let’s call this method “binary” (1 – Complete articles, 0 – Incomplete articles). This separation naturally “blurs” the boundaries between individual classes, but it allows you to build and compare quality models for different language versions of Wikipedia.

Data Mining

To build such models, you can use various algorithms, in particular Data Mining. One of the most commonly used algorithms – Random Forest[1][2][3][4][6][7][8][5]. There are even studies[4], which compare it with other algorithms (CART, SMO, Multilayer Perceptron, LMT, C4.5, C5.0 and others). Random Forest allows to build models even using variables that correlates with each other. Additionally, this algorithm can show which variables are more important for determining the quality of articles. If we need to get other information about the importance of variables, we can use other algorithms, including logistic regression.[9]

The results show that there are differences between article quality models in different language versions of Wikipedia.[1][2][3][4] So, if in one language version one of the most important parameters is the number of references (sources), in another language will be more important the number of images and the length of the text.

In this case, the quality is modeled as the probability of referring an article to one of two groups – Complete or Incomplete. The conclusion is made on the basis of analysis of various parameters (metrics): the length of the text[10][11][12][13][14][15], the number of references[16][17][18][19], images[20][21], sections[22][23], links to the article, the number of facts[7][24], visits, the number of editions and many others. There are also a number of linguistic parameters,[6][8] which depend on the considered language. Also it can be taken into the account measures that shows number of the links from external sources, such as Reddit, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Linkedin, VKontakte and other social services.[25]

Currently, in total, more than 300 parameters (or measures) are used in studies, depending on the language version of Wikipedia and the complexity of the quality model. Some parameters, such as references (sources), can be evaluated additionally[26] – we can not only count the quantity, but also assess how well-known and reliable sources are used in the Wikipedia article.

Where to get these parameters?

There are several sources – it can be a backup copy of Wikipedia, API service, special tools and others.[27]

To get some parameters, you just need to send a request (query) to the appropriate API, for other parameters (especially linguistic ones) you need to use special libraries and parsers. A considerable part of the time, however, is spent writing your own tools (we’ll talk about this in separate articles).

Are there other ways for quality assessing of Wikipedia articles other than binary?

Yes. Recent studies[28][29] propose the method for estimating articles on a scale from 0 to 100 in a continuous scale. Thus, an article can receive, for example, an estimate of 54.21. This method has been tested in 55 language versions. The results are available on the WikiRank service, which allows you to evaluate and compare the quality and popularity of Wikipedia articles in different languages. The method, of course, is not ideal, but works for locally known topics.[29]

Are there ways of assessing the quality of some part of Wikipedia article?

Of course. For example, one of the important elements of the article is the so-called “infobox”. This is a separate frame (table), which is often located at the top right of the article and shows the most important facts about the subject. So, there is no need to look for this information in the text – you can just look at this table. Evaluation of the quality of these infoboxes is devoted to individual studies.[2][30] There are also projects, such as Infoboxes.net, which allow you to automatically compare the infoboxes in different language versions.

Why do we need all this?

Wikipedia is used often, but the information quality is not always checked. The proposed methods can simplify this task – if the article is bad, then the reader, knowing this, will be more careful in using its materials for decision making. On the other hand, the user can also see in which language the topic of interest is described better. And most importantly, modern techniques allow you to transfer information between different language versions. This means that you can automatically enrich the weak versions of Wikipedia with high-quality data from other language versions.[31] This will also improve the quality of other semantic databases, for which Wikipedia is the main source of information. First of all, this is – DBpedia, Wikidata, YAGO2 and others.
