| Estado del arte de la investigación sobre wikis | Emilio J. Rodríguez-Posada Juan Manuel Dodero-Beardo |
University of Cádiz | Spanish | December 2012 | El interés de los investigadores por los wikis, en especial Wikipedia, ha ido en aumento en los últimos años. La primera edición de WikiSym, un simposio sobre wikis, se celebró en 2005 y desde entonces han aparecido multitud de congresos, workshops, conferencias y competiciones en este área. El estudio de los wikis es un campo emergente y prolífico.
Ha habido varios intentos, aunque con escaso éxito, de recopilar toda la literatura sobre wikis. Unas veces el enfoque o la herramienta utilizada eran limitados, otras debido a las dimensiones de la tarea el proyecto era abandonado y al poco tiempo los metadatos bibliográficos se perdían. En este trabajo presentamos WikiPapers, un proyecto colaborativo para recopilar toda la literatura sobre wikis. Se hace uso de MediaWiki y su extensión semántica, ambos conocidos por los investigadores de este campo. Hasta noviembre de 2012 se han recopilado más de 1.700 publicaciones y sus metadatos, además de documentación sobre herramientas y datasets relacionados. Los metadatos son exportables en los formatos BibTeX, RDF, CSV y JSON. Los historiales completos del wiki están disponibles para descargar y facilitar su preservación. El proyecto está abierto a la participación de todo el mundo. El resto del trabajo se divide de la siguiente manera. En la sección 2 motivamos este trabajo haciendo un repaso a los distintos enfoques utilizados hasta ahora para recopilar toda la literatura sobre wikis, incidiendo en sus ventajas e inconvenientes. En la sección 3 detallamos los objetivos. En la sección 4 definimos algunos términos que servirán para comprender mejor el contenido. En la sección 5 presentamos WikiPapers, cómo funciona y qué pasos se han dado. En la sección 6 hacemos un estado del arte empleando WikiPapers. En la sección 7 repasamos las cuestiones que a día de hoy siguen abiertas o que han tenido poca atención hasta ahora. Finalmente, en la sección 8, terminamos con unas conclusiones y trabajo futuro. |

| Wikipedia Customization through Web Augmentation Techniques | Oscar Díaz Cristóbal Arellano Gorka Puente |
Web Augmentation Wiki DSL |
WikiSym | English | August 2012 | Wikipedia is a successful example of collaborative knowledge construction. This can be synergistically complemented with personal knowledge construction whereby individuals are supported in their sharing, experimenting and building of information in a more private setting, without the scrutiny of the whole community. Ideally, both approaches should be seamlessly integrated so that wikipedians can easily transit from the public sphere to the private sphere, and vice versa. To this end, we introduce WikiLayer, a plugin for Wikipedia that permits wikipedians locally supplement Wikipedia articles with their own content (i.e. a layer). Layering additional content is achieved locally by seamlessly interspersing Wikipedia content with custom content. WikiLayer is driven by three main wiki principles: affordability (i.e., if you know how to edit articles, you know how to layer), organic growth (i.e., layers evolve in synchrony with the underlying articles) and shareability (i.e., layers can be shared in confidence through the wikipedian’s social network, e.g., Facebook ). The paper provides motivating scenarios for readers, contributors and editors. WikiLayer is available for download at http://webaugmentation.org/wikilayer.xpi. | 0 | 0 |
| Análisis de enlaces hacia Bibliotecas y Archivos Digitales de Patrimonio Cultural desde Wikipedia en español y catalán | Tomás Saorín-Pérez Emilio J. Rodríguez-Posada |
BiD: textos universitaris de biblioteconomia i documentació | Spanish | July 2012 | Objetivo. Describir y evaluar el uso en Wikipedia de enlaces a las colecciones digitalizadas en bibliotecas,
archivos y otras instituciones culturales. Metodología. El estudio se realiza sobre la totalidad de los artículos de las ediciones en español y catalán de Wikipedia, usando una herramienta de análisis de wikis. Se realiza una selección amplia de 81 colecciones digitales españolas de diferente alcance. También se toman datos de otros proyectos de digitalización para poder comparar los resultados. Resultados. Se muestra una presencia aún débil de enlaces desde Wikipedia, excepto para la Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes, cuyas magnitudes son sensiblemente diferentes. Algunas colecciones especializadas son más usadas, pero en general se aprecia una falta de atención hacia estas colecciones desde el colectivo de editores de Wikipedia, lo cual debería tenerse en cuenta en el desarrollo de los proyectos de digitalización tipo Europeana. |

Editorial UOC | Spanish | July 2012 | Wikipedia es una realidad que funciona, aunque en teoría pueda parecer un sueño irrealizable. Un puñado de entusiastas ha redefinido desde la nada el concepto clásico de enciclopedia y ha construido la fuente de referencia más usada de la historia. ¿Tiene suficiente calidad? La respuesta es afirmativa, y para justificarlo hay que profundizar en los mecanismos de los que está dotada, que le permiten alcanzar el nivel de calidad que se desee, combinando el esfuerzo de miles de editores voluntarios autoorganizados. Wikipedia es al mismo tiempo contenido y personas. Es el momento de conocerla por dentro y de potenciar su apuesta por el conocimiento abierto desde las instituciones culturales, científicas y educativas. Participar en Wikipedia permite aprender de este increíble laboratorio global de construcción social de información organizada. | 0 | 0 |

Digithum | English Catalan |
May 2012 | The term wikimediasphere is proposed to refer to the group of WikiProjects, communities of editors, guidelines and organisations structured around the Wikimedia movement to generate free knowledge that is available to everyone. A description is made of the wikimediasphere, presenting the main projects and their characteristics, and its community, technological, regulatory, social and institutional dimensions are outlined. The wikimediasphere is placed in context and reference is made to its blurred boundaries. An explanation is provided of the role of the communities of editors of each project and their autonomy with respect to each other and to the Wikimedia Foundation. The author concludes by offering a panoramic view of the wikimediasphere. | 10 | 0 |

Digithum | Spanish Catalan English |
May 2012 | Wikipedia came into being in cyberspace. Its early years were marked by asynchronous work by users located all over the world who hardly ever related on a personal level outside the net. With time, some of the volunteers met at what were called wikimeetups, encounters initially aimed at tightening bonds which did not bring about any direct improvement to the project content. Face-to-face initiatives later took place that involved not just volunteers but also cultural entities. The most recent event and the one with the greatest impact was Wiki Loves Monuments 2011, a competition to photograph monuments in 18 European countries, including Spain. The high level of participation led to 160,000 photographs of monuments being taken, with Spain occupying the third place in terms of number of photographs. In this paper we explore the origins, implementation, development and results of Wiki Loves Monuments. The success of the 2011 edition and requests from other countries has led to organization of Wiki Loves Monuments 2012, which will be held at the global level. | 3 | 0 |
| Assessment of collaborative learning experiences by graphical analysis of wiki contributions | Manuel Palomo-Duarte Juan Manuel Dodero-Beardo Inmaculada Medina-Bulo Emilio J. Rodríguez-Posada Iván Ruiz-Rube |
Computer-supported collaborative learning Wiki E-Learning assessment Data visualization Graphical analysis tool |
Interactive Learning Environments | English | 2012 | The widespread adoption of computers and Internet in our life has reached the classrooms, where Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning based on wikis offers new ways of collaboration and encourages student participation. When the number of contributions from students increases, traditional assessment procedures of e-learning settings suffer from scalability problems. In a wiki-based learning experience, automatic tools are required to support the assessment of such huge amounts of data. In this work we present StatMediaWiki, a tool that collects and aggregates information that helps to analyze a MediaWiki installation. It generates charts, tables and different statistics enabling easy analysis of wiki evolution.. We have used StatMediaWiki in a Higher Education course and present the results obtained in this case study. | 14 | 0 |
| Emotions and dialogue in a peer-production community: the case of Wikipedia | David Laniado Carlos Castillo Andreas Kaltenbrunner Mayo Fuster Morell |
Wikipedia Talk page Emotions Gender gap |
WikiSym | English | 2012 | This paper presents a large-scale analysis of emotions in conversations among Wikipedia editors. Our focus is on the emotions expressed by editors in talk pages, measured by using the Affective Norms for English Words (ANEW).
We find evidence that to a large extent women tend to participate in discussions with a more positive tone, and that administrators are more positive than non-administrators. Surprisingly, female non-administrators tend to behave like administrators in many aspects. We observe that replies are on average more positive than the comments they reply to, preventing many discussions from spiralling down into conflict. We also find evidence of emotional homophily: editors having similar emotional styles are more likely to interact with each other. Our findings offer novel insights into the emotional dimension of interactions in peer-production communities, and contribute to debates on issues such as the flattening of editor growth and the gender gap. |

2012 | En este artículo se presenta WikiHaskell, un proyecto basado en tecnologías wiki que se ha desarrollado en la titulación de Ingeniero en Informática de la Universidad de Cádiz. WikiHaskell es un wiki en el que los alumnos, organizados en grupos de tres, crean material complementario sobre bibliotecas del lenguaje de programación Haskell. El principal objetivo de este proyecto es incorporar al aula la creación de conocimiento libre, de manera que se consiga que los alumnos se conviertan en los verdaderos protagonistas de la asignatura. Para evaluar el wiki y, por tanto, el trabajo realizado por el alumnado se ha desarrollado StatMediaWiki, un sistema de análisis estadístico para wikis MediaWiki que permite hacerlo de manera sencilla y transparente. StatMediaWiki genera un informe general del wiki y análisis individuales del trabajo desarrollado por cada usuario, por cada página y por cada categoría. Gracias al análisis de contribuciones de esta herramienta se han podido identificar varios perfiles de usuario según su distribución temporal en el curso. Del mismo modo, el análisis por categorías facilita la detección de determinadas situaciones dentro de un grupo, como por ejemplo, la ubicación de los alumnos líderes o la de los menos activos. Tanto el contenido del wiki como el código de StatMediaWiki son libres y accesibles públicamente. | 16 | 0 |

| An Introductory Historical Contextualization of Online Creation Communities for the Building of Digital Commons: The Emergence of a Free Culture Movement | Mayo Fuster Morell | Proceedings of the 6th Open Knowledge Conference | English | June 2011 | Online Creation Communities (OCCs) are a set of individuals that communicate, interact and collaborate; in several forms and degrees of participation which are eco-systemically integrated; mainly via a platform of participation on the Internet, on which they depend; and aiming at knowledge-making and sharing. The paper will first provide an historical contextualization OCCs. Then, it will show how the development of OCCs is fuelled by and contributes to, the rise of a free culture movement defending and advocating the creation of digital commons, and provide an empirically grounded definition of free culture movement. The empirical analyses is based content analysis of 80 interviews to free culture practitioners, promoters and activists with an international background or rooted in Europe, USA and Latino-America and the content analysis of two seminar discussions. The data collection was developed from 2008 to 2010. | 0 | 0 | |

| Wikipedia Vandalism Detection: Combining Natural Language, Metadata, and Reputation Features | B. Thomas Adler Luca de Alfaro Santiago M. Mola Velasco Paolo Rosso Andrew G. West |
Wikipedia Wiki Collaboration Vandalism Machine learning Metadata Natural Language Processing Reputation |
Lecture notes in computer science | English | February 2011 | Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia which anyone can edit. While most edits are constructive, about 7% are acts of vandalism. Such behavior is characterized by modifications made in bad faith; introducing spam and other inappropriate content. In this work, we present the results of an effort to integrate three of the leading approaches to Wikipedia vandalism detection: a spatio-temporal analysis of metadata (STiki), a reputation-based system (WikiTrust), and natural language processing features. The performance of the resulting joint system improves the state-of-the-art from all previous methods and establishes a new baseline for Wikipedia vandalism detection. We examine in detail the contribution of the three approaches, both for the task of discovering fresh vandalism, and for the task of locating vandalism in the complete set of Wikipedia revisions. | 0 | 1 |

Wikipedia Featured articles Usage patterns Traffic characterization Quantitative analysis |
ICSOFT | English | 2011 | This paper presents a quantitative examination of the impact of the presentation of featured articles as quality content in the main page of several Wikipedia editions. Moreover, the paper also presents the analysis performed to determine the number of visits received by the articles promoted to the featured status. We have analyzed the visits not only in the month when articles awarded the promotion or were included in the main page, but also in the previous and following ones. The main aim for this is to assess the attention attracted by the featured content and the different dynamics exhibited by each community of users in respect to the promotion process. The main results of this paper are twofold: it shows how to extract relevant information related to the use of Wikipedia, which is an emerging research topic, and it analyzes whether the featured articles mechanism achieve to attract more attention. | 3 | 0 |
| AVBOT: Detecting and fixing vandalism in Wikipedia | Emilio J. Rodríguez-Posada | AVBOT Robot Libre software MediaWiki Monitoring Vandalism Wikipedia Wiki |
UPGRADE | English | 2011 | Wikipedia is a project which aims to build a free encyclopaedia to spread the sum of all knowledge to every single human being. Today it can be said to be on the road to achieving that goal, having reached the 15 million articles milestone in 270 languages. Furthermore, if we include its sister projects (Wiktionary, Wikibooks, Wikisource,...), it has received more than 1 billion edits in 10 years and now has more than 10 billion page views every month. Compiling an encyclopaedia in a collaborative way has been possible thanks to MediaWiki software. It allows everybody to modify the content available on the site easily. But a problem emerges regarding this model: not all edits are made in good faith. AVBOT is a bot for protecting the Spanish Wikipedia against some undesired modifications known as vandalism. Although AVBOT was developed for Wikipedia, it can be used on any MediaWiki website. It is developed in Python and is free software. In the 2 years it has been in operation it has reverted more than 200,000 vandalism edits, while several clones have been executed, adding thousands of reverts to this count. | 0 | 0 |

| El potlatch digital. Wikipedia y el triunfo del procomún y el conocimiento compartido | Felipe Ortega Joaquín Rodríguez López |
Spanish | 2011 | En el año 1968, Garret Hardin publicó en la revista «Science» un artículo determinante, «The Tragedy of the Commons», en el que reflexionaba sobre la dificultad de la gestión de los bienes y los recursos comunes y sobre el peligro al que estaba expuesta su subsistencia. La Premio Nobel de Economía Elinor Ostrom pasaría la mayor parte de su vida profesional investigando, precisamente, sobre los mecanismos de la acción colectiva y la gestión solidaria del procomún, intentando inferir de las buenas prácticas algunas características estructurales comunes. Con la invención de Internet y la digitalización del conocimiento, resurge con vigor en versión digital el problema analógico precedente: ¿cómo pueden surgir y autogestionarse comunidades online cuyo propósito es la generación de conocimiento compartido? Es decir, ¿cómo puede y debe gestionarse el procomún digital, el «digital commons»? Wikipedia ofrece un ejemplo prototípico y floreciente de la construcción de una comunidad que consensúa sus políticas, establece sus mecanismos internos de reconocimiento y organiza sus dispositivos de control y vigilancia, todo sin que circule efectivo de ninguna clase. El caso del «potlatch» canadiense nos sirve para comprender cómo en determinados contextos y circunstancias es necesario desprenderse del capital que se posee para que la comunidad lo devuelva y lo reintegre en forma de reconocimiento y renombre; cómo en determinados contextos culturales, la especie de capital que circula no es monetaria, sino simbólica, en forma de reputación y popularidad, y la lógica de su acumulación exige ser desinteresado para generar otra forma de interés. Así funcionan algunos de los casos más conocidos de Internet y así se ha convertido la Wikipedia en un caso del triunfo de la gestión del procomún y el conocimiento compartido. | 0 | 0 | ||

IBERSID | Spanish | 2011 | A guide for Wikipedia student edition as a collaborative active learning activity is presented. Whereas the use of wikis in the classroom is widely documented, the educational possibilities of Wikipedia itself are not so much. We offer a classification of participatory activities suitable for being carried out by the students in the development of the curricular contents. One of the most relevant aspects is the transformation of the critical and distrustful speech towards the Wikipedia in a direct knowledge of its scope, process of production and systems of quality control. In addition, it is a good opportunity to improve a widespread source of information among university undergraduates that has a real impact and for the students to develop a more critical and active use of information sources. | 0 | 0 |

Wikipedia Usage patterns Traffic characterization Quantitative analysis |
KEOD | English | 2010 | This paper presents an empirical study on the impact of featured articles on the attention that Wikipedia’s articles attract, and how this behavior differs in different editions of Wikipedia. The study is based on the analysis of the log lines registered by the Wikimedia Foundation Squid servers after having sent the appropriate content in response to the corresponding request submitted by any Wikipedia user. The analysis has been conducted regarding the six most visited editions of the Wikipedia and has involved more than 4,100 million log lines corresponding to the traffic of September, October and November 2009. The methodology of work has mainly consisted on the parsing of the requests sent by the users and on their subsequent filtering according to the study directives. Relevant information fields has been finally stored in a database for persistence and further characterization. The main results of this paper are twofold: it shows how to use the the traffic log to extract information about the use of Wikipedia, which is a novel research approach without precedences in the research community, and it analyzes whether the featured articles mechanism achieve to attract more attention or not. | 6 | 0 |

| Model-aware Wiki Analysis Tools: the Case of HistoryFlow | Oscar Díaz Gorka Puente |
WikiSym | English | 2010 | Wikis are becoming mainstream. Studies confirm how wikis are finding their way into organizations. This paper focuses on requirements for analysis tools for corporate wikis. Corporate wikis differ from their grow-up counterparts such as Wikipedia. First, they tend to be much smaller. Second, they require analysis to be customized for their own domains. So far, most analysis tools focus on large wikis where handling efficiently large bulks of data is paramount. This tends to make analysis tools access directly the wiki database. This binds the tool to the wiki engine, hence, jeopardizing customizability and interoperability. However, corporate wikis are not so big while customizability is a desirable feature. This change in requirements advocates for analysis tools to be decoupled from the underlying wiki engines. Our approach argues for characterizing analysis tools in terms of their abstract analysis model (e.g. a graph model, a contributor model). How this analysis model is then map into wiki-implementation terms is left to the wiki administrator. The administrator, as the domain expert, can better assess which is the right terms/granularity to conduct the analysis. This accounts for suitability and interoperability gains. The approach is borne out for HistoryFlow, an IBM tool for visualizing evolving wiki pages and the interactions of multiple wiki authors. | 8 | 0 | |

| Wikipedia Vandalism Detection Through Machine Learning: Feature Review and New Proposals | Santiago M. Mola Velasco | CLEF | English | 2010 | Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia that anyone can edit. In this open model, some people edits with the intent of harming the integrity of Wikipedia. This is known as vandalism. We extend the framework presented in (Potthast, Stein, and Gerling, 2008) for Wikipedia vandalism detection. In this approach, several vandalism indicating features are extracted from edits in a vandalism corpus and are fed to a supervised learning algorithm. The best performing classifiers were LogitBoost and Random Forest. Our classifier, a Random Forest, obtained an AUC of 0.92236, ranking in the first place of the PAN’10 Wikipedia vandalism detection task. | 4 | 0 | |
| Wikipedia: un estudio comparado | Manuel Arias-Maldonado | Spanish | 2010 | Wikipedia se encuentra entre los sitios más visitados de la web, sólo por detrás de gigantes como Google, Facebook o YouTube . A esa popularidad contribuye no poco su sospechosa googleabilidad: cuando se emprende una búsqueda en Google, la correspondiente voz de Wikipedia suele encabezar el listado resultante y no lo contrario. Se ha convertido en algo más que una enciclopedia, para acceder a la categoría de síntoma -o presagio- cultural. Lo que aquí nos importa es que sea efectivamente una enciclopedia, para pasar a preguntarnos qué tipo de enciclopedia es. Interrogante al que trataremos de responder mediante un estudio comparado de tres de sus versiones: la anglosajona, la alemana y la española. Se trata de elucidar, en la medida de lo posible, sus virtudes y defectos. | 0 | 0 | ||

| A quantitative approach to the use of the Wikipedia | Antonio J. Reinoso Felipe Ortega Jesús M. González-Barahona Gregorio Robles |
English | 2009 | This paper presents a quantitative study of the use of the Wikipedia system by its users (both readers and editors), with special focus on the identification of time and kind-of-use patterns, characterization of traffic and workload, and comparative analysis of different language editions. The basis of the study is the filtering and analysis of a large sample of the requests directed to the Wikimedia systems for six weeks, each in a month from November 2007 to April 2008. In particular, we have considered the twenty most frequently visited language editions of the Wikipedia, identifying for each access to any of them the corresponding namespace (sets of resources with uniform semantics), resource name (article names, for example) and action (editions, submissions, history reviews, save operations, etc.). The results found include the identification of weekly and daily patterns, and several correlations between several actions on the articles. In summary, the study shows an overall picture of how the most visited language editions of the Wikipedia are being accessed by their users. | 0 | 0 | ||

| On the Analysis of Contributions from Privileged Users in Virtual Open Communities | Felipe Ortega Daniel Izquierdo-Cortazar Jesús M. González-Barahona Gregorio Robles |
Libre software Wikipedia |
HICSS | English | 2009 | Collaborative projects built around virtual communities on the Internet have gained momentum over the last decade. Nevertheless, their rapid growth rate rises some questions: which is the most effective approach to manage and organize their content creation process? Can these communities scale, controlling their projects as their size continues to grow over time? To answer these questions, we undertake a quantitative analysis of privileged users in FLOSS development projects and in Wikipedia. From our results, we conclude that the inequality level of user contributions in both types of initiatives is remarkably distinct, even though both communities present almost identical patterns regarding the number of distinct contributors per file (in FLOSS projects) or per article (in Wikipedia). As a result, totally open projects like Wikipedia can effectively deal with faster growing rates, while FLOSS projects may be affected by bottlenecks on committers who play critical roles. | 0 | 0 |

Conferencia Internacional de Software Libre | Spanish | 2009 | Las tecnologías wiki han revolucionado la forma de construir conocimiento en los últimos años: con solo pulsar un botón se puede pasar de ser un mero consumidor de información a autor de contenidos con un público potencial enorme. Basta como ejemplo el proyecto Wikipedia, que ha provocado recientemente que Microsoft abandone la comercialización de su enciclopedia de pago Encarta. El mundo académico no está al margen de estos avances, y son varias las iniciativas que se están desarrollando en la Universidad de Cádiz en este sentido por medio de su Oficina de Software Libre y Conocimiento Abierto. Wikijuegos es un tutorial sobre programación de videojuegos con la biblioteca libre libSDL. R-Wiki es un wiki creado por el proyecto R-UCA, que da apoyo a los usuarios (alumnos e investigadores) del paquete estadístico libre R. WikiHaskell es una experiencia que se está desarrollando en la que los alumnos crean material complementario sobre bibliotecas del lenguaje de programación Haskell. Por último, wikiUNIX es un wiki en fase de desarrollo aún que recopila información sobre administración de sistemas UNIX y que además ofrece ejercicios y un sistema GNU/Linux virtual para poder realizarlos. Todos estos wikis tienen su contenido bajo licencia libre y están accesibles públicamente. | 0 | 1 |

| On the Inequality of Contributions to Wikipedia | Felipe Ortega Jesús M. González-Barahona Gregorio Robles |
English | 2008 | Wikipedia is one of the most successful examples of massive collaborative content development. However, many of the mechanisms and procedures that it uses are still unknown in detail. For instance, how equal (or unequal) are the contributions to it has been discussed in the last years, with no conclusive results. In this paper, we study exactly that aspect by using Lorenz curves and Gini coefficients, very well known instruments to economists. We analyze the trends in the inequality of distributions for the ten biggest language editions of Wikipedia, and their evolution over time. As a result, we have found large differences in the number of contributions by different authors (something also observed in free, open source software development), and a trend to stable patterns of inequality in the long run. | 0 | 4 | ||
| Quantitative analysis and characterization of Wikipedia requests | Antonio J. Reinoso Jesús M. González-Barahona Felipe Ortega Gregorio Robles |
WikiSym | English | 2008 | Our poster describes the quantitative analysis carried out to study the use of the Wikipedia system by its users with special focus on the identification of time and kind-of-use patterns, characterization of traffic and workload, and comparative analysis of different language editions. By filtering and classifying a large sample of the requests directed to the Wikimedia systems over 7 days we have been able to identify important information such us the targeted namespaces, the visited resources or the requested actions. The results found include the identification of weekly and daily patterns, and several correlations between different actions on the articles. In summary, the study shows an overall picture of how the most visited language editions of the Wikipedia are being accessed by their users. | 0 | 0 | |

| Quantitative Analysis of the Wikipedia Community of Users | Felipe Ortega Jesús M. González-Barahona |
WikiSym | English | 2007 | Many activities of editors in Wikipedia can be traced using its database dumps, which register detailed information about every single change to every article. Several researchers have used this information to gain knowledge about the production process of articles, and about activity patterns of authors. In this analysis, we have focused on one of those previous works, by Kittur et al. First, we have followed the same methodology with more recent and comprehensive data. Then, we have extended this methodology to precisely identify which fraction of authors are producing most of the changes in Wikipedia's articles, and how the behaviour of these authors evolves over time. This enabled us not only to validate some of the previous results, but also to find new interesting evidences. We have found that the analysis of sysops is not a good method for estimating different levels of contributions, since it is dependent on the policy for electing them (which changes over time and for each language). Moreover, we have found new activity patterns classifying authors by their contributions during specific periods of time, instead of using their total number of contributions over the whole life of Wikipedia. Finally, we present a tool that automates this extended methodology, implementing a quick and complete quantitative analysis ofevery language edition in Wikipedia. | 0 | 4 |
