Temporal Motifs Reveal the Dynamics of Editor Interactions in Wikipedia - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2012, written by David Jurgens and Tsai-Ching Lu.

Overview

Wikipedia is a collaborative setting with both combative and cooperative editing. Authors propose a new method for investigating the types of editor interactions using a novel representation of Wikipedia's revision history as a temporal, bipartite network with multiple node and edge types for users and revisions. From this representation authors identify significant author interactions as network motifs and show how the motif types capture important, diverse editing behaviors. Two experiments demonstrate the further benefit of motifs. First, authors demonstrate significant performance improvement over a purely revision-based analysis in classifying pages as combative or cooperative page by using motifs; and second authors use motifs as a basis for analyzing trends in the dynamics of editor behavior to explain Wikipedia's content growth.
