Wikipedia Workload Analysis - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2007, written by Guido Urdaneta, Guillaume Pierre and Maarten van Steen.

Overview

Authors study an access trace containing a sample of Wikipedia’s traffic over a 107-day period. Authors perform a global analysis of the whole trace, and a detailed analysis of the requests directed to the English edition of Wikipedia. In study, authors classify client requests and examine aspects such as the number of read and save operations, flash crowds, and requests for nonexisting pages. Authors also outline strategies for improving Wikipedia performance in a decentralized hosting environment.
