A Corpus-Based Study of Edit Categories in Featured and Non-Featured Wikipedia Articles - scientific work about Wikipedia quality published in 2012, written by Johannes Daxenberger and Iryna Gurevych.
Overview
In this paper, authors present a study of the collaborative writing process in Wikipedia. Their work is based on a corpus of 1,995 edits obtained from 891 article revisions in the English Wikipedia. Authors propose a 21-category classification scheme for edits based on Faigley and Witte's (1981) model. Example edit categories include spelling error corrections and vandalism. In a manual multi-label annotation study with 3 annotators, authors obtain an inter-annotator agreement of α = 0.67. Authors further analyze the distribution of edit categories for distinct stages in the revision history of 10 featured and 10 non-featured articles. Their results show that the information content in featured articles tends to become more stable after their promotion. On the opposite, this is not true for non-featured articles. Authors make the resulting corpus and the annotation guidelines freely available.
