Characterization of the Wikipedia Traffic - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2012, written by Antonio J. Reinoso, Antonio J. Reinoso, Rocío Muñoz-Mansilla, Israel Herraiz Tabernero and Felipe Ortega.
Overview
Since its inception, Wikipedia has grown to a solid and stable project and turned into a mass collaboration tool that allows the sharing and distribution of knowledge. The wiki approach that basis this initiative promotes the participation and collaboration of users. In addition to visits for browsing its contents, Wikipedia also receives the contributions of users to improve them. In the past, researchers paid attention to different aspects concerning authoring and quality of contents. However, little effort has been made to study the nature of the visits that Wikipedia receives. Authors conduct such an study using a sample of users' requests provided by the [[Wikimedia Foundation]] in the form of Squid log lines. Authors sample contains more that 14,000 million requests from users all around the world and directed to all the projects maintained by the Wikimedia Foundation, including different editions of Wikipedia. This papers describes the work made to characterize the traffic directed to Wikipedia and consisting of the requests sent by its users. Authors main aim is to obtain a detailed description of its composition in terms of the percentages corresponding to the different types of requests making part of it. The benefits from work may range from the prediction of traffic peaks to the determination of the kind of resources most often requested, which can be useful for scalability considerations.
