Measuring Article Quality in Wikipedia: Models and Evaluation - scientific work about Wikipedia quality published in 2007, written by Meiqun Hu, Ee Peng Lim, Aixin Sun, Hady Wirawan Lauw and Baquy Vuong.

Overview

Wikipedia has grown to be the world largest and busiest free encyclopedia, in which articles are collaboratively written and maintained by volunteers online. Despite its success as a means of knowledge sharing and collaboration, the public has never stopped criticizing the quality of Wikipedia articles edited by non-experts and inexperienced contributors. In this paper, authors investigate the problem of assessing the quality of articles in collaborative authoring of Wikipedia. Authors propose three article quality measurement models that make use of the interaction data between articles and their contributors derived from the article edit history. Their basic model is designed based on the mutual dependency between article quality and their author authority. The PeerReview model introduces the review behavior into measuring article quality. Finally, their ProbReview models extend PeerReview with partial reviewership of contributors as they edit various portions of the articles. Authors conduct experiments on a set of well-labeled Wikipedia articles to evaluate the effectiveness of their quality measurement models in resembling human judgement.
