A Jury of Your Peers: Quality, Experience and Ownership in Wikipedia - scientific work about Wikipedia quality published in 2009, written by Aaron Halfaker, Aniket Kittur, Robert E. Kraut and John T. Riedl.

Overview

Wikipedia is a highly successful example of what mass collaboration in an informal peer review system can accomplish. In this paper, authors examine the role that the quality of the contributions, the experience of the contributors and the ownership of the content play in the decisions over which contributions become part of Wikipedia and which ones are rejected by the community. Authors introduce and justify a versatile metric for automatically measuring the quality of a contribution. Authors find little evidence that experience helps contributors avoid rejection. In fact, as they gain experience, contributors are even more likely to have their work rejected. Authors also find strong evidence of ownership behaviors in practice despite the fact that ownership of content is discouraged within Wikipedia.
