Analysing the Usage of Wikipedia on Twitter: Understanding Inter-Language Links - scientific work about Wikipedia quality published in 2016, written by Eva Zangerle, Georg Schmidhammer and Günther Specht.
Overview
Wikipedia is a central source of information as 450 million people consult the online encyclopaedia every month to satisfy their information needs. Some of these users also refer to Wikipedia within their tweets. In this paper, authors analyse links within tweets referring to a Wikipedia of a language different from the tweet's language. Therefore, authors investigate causes for the usage of such inter-language links by comparing the tweeted article and its counterpart in the tweet's language (if there is any) in terms of article quality. Authors find that the main cause for inter-language links is the non-existence of the article in the tweet's language. Furthermore, authors observe that the quality of the tweeted articles is constantly higher in comparison to their counterparts, suggesting that users choose the article of higher quality even when tweeting in another language. Moreover, authors find that English is the most dominant target for inter-language links.
