What Influences Online Deliberation? a Wikipedia Study - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2014, written by Lu Xiao and Nicole Askin.
Overview
In this paper authors describe a study aimed at evaluating and improving the quality of online deliberation. Authors consider the rationales used by participants in deletion discussions on Wikipedia in terms of the literature on democratic and online deliberation and collaborative information quality. Authors findings suggest that most participants in these discussions were concerned with the notability and credibility of the topics presented for deletion, and that most presented rationales rooted in established site policies. Authors found that factors like article topic and unanimity or lack thereof were among the factors that tended to affect the outcome of the debate. Authors results also suggested that the blackout of the site in response to the proposed Stop Online Piracy Act SOPA law affected the decisions of deletion debates that occurred close to the event. Authors conclude by suggesting implications of this study for broader considerations of online information quality and democratic deliberation.
