Wikipedia and Its Network of Human and Automated Authors from a Social Network Perspective - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2012, written by Matthias Hirth, Frank Lehrieder and Phuoc Tran-Gia.
Overview
Online social networks (OSNs) become more and more important in today’s social and business life. Therefore, considerable effort is put in research to gain a deeper knowledge of the development of these networks and their dynamics. However, most of the existing literature is based on very limited subsets of the network data, which is often filtered by the OSN operator providing the data or biased by the crawling mechanisms used to obtain the data. This makes it difficult to analyze the temporal evolution of OSNs based on complete data. For studying temporal evolution and time dynamics authors investigate the dynamics of the publicly available collaboration network of the Wikipedia authors as an example for an OSN-like network. The authors are distinguished between human authors contributing to the articles and automated scripts, so called bots, which complete specialized tasks like spell-checking. In particular, authors study the temporal evolution of this network since its beginning and demonstrate that it exhibits prominent similarities to well known social networks such as the small-world phenomenon. This indicates that the insights gained from the analysis of Wikipedia’s collaboration network might be transferable to social networks in general. 1
