QualityRank: Assessing Quality of Wikipedia Articles by Mutually Evaluating Editors and Texts - scientific work about Wikipedia quality published in 2012, written by Yuri J. Suzuki and Masatoshi Yoshikawa.

Overview

In this paper, authors propose a method to identify high-quality Wikipedia articles by mutually evaluating editors and texts. A major approach for assessing articles using edit history is a text survival ratio based approach. However, the problem is that many high-quality articles are identified as low quality, because many vandals delete high-quality texts, then the survival ratios of high-quality texts are decreased by vandals. Their approach's strongest point is its resistance to vandalism. Using their method, if authors calculate text quality values using editor quality values, vandals do not affect any quality values of the other editors, then the accuracy of text quality values should improve. However, the problem is that editor quality values are calculated by text quality values, and text quality values are calculated by editor quality values. To solve this problem, authors mutually calculate editor and text quality values until they converge. Using this method, authors can calculate a quality value of a text that takes into consideration that of its editors. From experimental evaluation, authors confirmed that the proposed method can improve the accuracy of quality values for articles.
