Talk Before You Type: Coordination in Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2007, written by Fernanda B. Viégas, Martin Wattenberg, Jesse H. Kriss and van Fjj Frank Ham.
Overview
Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, has attracted attention both because of its popularity and its unconventional policy of letting anyone on the Internet edit its articles. This paper describes the results of an empirical analysis of Wikipedia and discusses ways in which the Wikipedia community has evolved as it has grown. Authors contrast findings with an earlier study and present three main results. First, the community maintains a strong resilience to malicious editing, despite tremendous growth and high traffic. Second, the fastest growing areas of Wikipedia are devoted to coordination and organization. Finally, authors focus on a particular set of pages used to coordinate work, the "Talk" pages. By manually coding the content of a subset of these pages, authors find that these pages serve many purposes, notably supporting strategic planning of edits and enforcement of standard guidelines and conventions. Authors results suggest that despite the potential for anarchy, the Wikipedia community places a strong emphasis on group coordination, policy, and process
