Wikipedias: Collaborative Web-Based Encyclopedias as Complex Networks - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2006, written by Vinko Zlatić, Miran Božičević, Hrvoje Stefancic and Mladen Domazet.
Overview
Wikipedia is a popular web-based encyclopedia edited freely and collaboratively by its users. In this paper authors present an analysis of Wikipedias in several languages as complex networks. The hyperlinks pointing from one Wikipedia article to another are treated as directed links while the articles represent the nodes of the network. Authors show that many network characteristics are common to different language versions of Wikipedia, such as their degree distributions, growth, topology, reciprocity, clustering, assortativity, path lengths, and triad significance profiles. These regularities, found in the ensemble of Wikipedias in different languages and of different sizes, point to the existence of a unique growth process. Authors also compare Wikipedias to other previously studied networks.
