Leveraging Crowdsourcing Heuristics to Improve Search in Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2009, written by Yasser Ganjisaffar, Sara Javanmardi and Cristina Videira Lopes.

Overview

Wikipedia articles are usually accompanied with history pages, categories and talk pages. The meta--data available in these pages can be analyzed to gain a better understanding of the content and quality of the articles. Authors analyze the quality of search results of the current major Web search engines (Google, Yahoo! and Live) in Wikipedia. Authors discuss how the rich meta--data available in wiki pages can be used to provide better search results in Wikipedia. Authors investigate the effect of incorporating the extent of review of an article into ranking of search results. The extent of review is measured by the number of distinct editors who have contributed to the articles and is extracted by processing Wikipedia's history pages. Authors experimental results show that re--ranking search results of the three major Web search engines, using the review feature, improves quality of their rankings for Wikipedia--specific searches.
