Political Advertising on the Wikipedia Marketplace of Information - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2018, written by Sascha Göbel and Simon Munzert.

Overview

Authors point to a popular yet underresearched platform of political information, the online encyclopedia Wikipedia. Considering the supply side of the marketplace, authors argue that personal biographies on the platform are an attractive medium for politicians to enhance their appearance. Authors trace changes to biographies coming from the parliament using data that cover the entire edit histories for biographies on all German members of parliament for the three last legislative periods. Authors findings show editing of personal biographies to be a persistent phenomenon. Moreover, type, timing, and driving factors of editing behavior highlight the importance politicians’ attribute to Wikipedia for pursuing reelection. Authors results speak to the domains of political professionalization, voting behavior, and the general measurement of communicative patterns.
