534:: A paper published last month by the Kansas Journal of Medicine asked "Are students able and willing to edit Knowledge (XXG) to learn components of evidence-based practice?" In 2007 and 2008, two groups of senior medical students at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio participated in an exercise where they were asked "to place succinct summaries of studies in Knowledge (XXG)" (after a four hour introductory course on wikis). In a survey, 91% of them said that the project should be offered again in the next year, and 71% planned to edit Knowledge (XXG) again. (The authors caution that this group was self-selected.) The articles were examined two months after their edits, and 46% of the students had their contribution improved in some way, while "the pages edited by 62% of students had additional edits in response to incidental vandalism to the pages, but in no instance was the vandalism done to an edit by a student". 581:, released a report titled "Geographies of the World's Knowledge" visualizing the temporal and geographical distribution of Knowledge (XXG) articles. Drawing from roughly 1.5 million articles in a 2010 database download, the report revealed among other findings that more articles had been written about Antarctica (7,800) than any South American or African nation, that the country with the most internet users (China) accounted for barely 1% of articles, that its biographical articles overwhelmingly geolocate to Western Europe and, from the 18th century on, North America, and that vastly more biographies per year were written for the 20th and particularly the 21st century compared to preceding time periods.

Based on a spam/ham corpus constructed as in the other paper, this paper contains some further analysis of the characteristics of link spam destinations and spamming accounts, and of the exposure spammed links receive before they are removed (determined by both the link's lifespan and the popularity of the spammed page). The most sensitive part of the paper then leverages these results to "describe a novel and efficient spam model we estimate can significantly outperform status quo techniques", e.g. by rapidly adding links to exploit the time lag of Knowledge (XXG)'s spam removal process, or targetting popular pages. In a nod to
591:, titled "Measuring the Development of Knowledge (XXG)", explores the development of the number of edits and the number of participants on the English Knowledge (XXG) from 2002 to 2007 (curiously asserting that "there is only 6 years data"). As first result, the research "reveals that the number of edits and the total number of participants both increased in Knowledge (XXG) from 2002 to 2007". The paper's most tangible contribution appears to consist of histograms plotting the number of users with a particular edit count in each of the years 2002 to 2007, which the author finds "are similar with the 472:
Foundation). Among findings are differences between language versions of Knowledge (XXG), such as that the "the number of edits tends to raise in weekends" for the French, Japanese, Dutch and Polish Knowledge (XXG), but not for other languages. Another paper, titled "Circadian patterns of Knowledge (XXG) editorial activity: A demographic analysis", similarly analyzed "34 Wikipedias in different languages to characterize and find the universalities and differences in temporal activity patterns of editors", with the underlying data provided by the German Wikimedia chapter from the
462:", averaged over all voters in each camp, and combined into a weighted difference). Closeness, PageRank, and eigenvector centrality were found to have the largest regression coefficients in predicting the outcome of an RfA, suggesting to the authors "that decisions of influential nodes can affect the outcome of the RfA process. Although it was not studied in this paper, a possible explanation for this result is that influential users may sway other users to vote the same way and this aggregate behavior may have an impact on the result of the election". 185:. The study by Antin and collaborators sampled 256,190 users who created a new account on the English Knowledge (XXG) between September 2010 and February 2011 and qualitatively coded their contribution by category of wiki work. The results suggest that, whereas in the lower three quartiles by activity level men and women make roughly the same contributions in each category of wiki work, in the top quartile editors behave in a significantly different way. The researchers found that among the top 25% of Wikipedians by activity level: 271: 1017: 967: 942: 892: 867: 842: 817: 789: 736: 711: 686: 661: 636: 1042: 992: 917: 761: 205: 1076: 357:
edit had been rolled back (to determine spam), or whether it had been added by a user with rollback rights (to determine ham). From this, the researchers derived numerous features that indicate link spamming behavior, in three areas: On-wiki evidence (including very simple metrics such as the URL's length – spam links tend to be shorter – or that older and more popular articles are more likely to be targeted), properties of the
117: 107: 423:"Factors that motivate participation": As a first result, the researchers found that the number of a user's contacts who already voted in an RfA, and (more strongly) whether the user had been in contact with the candidate, "contribute positively to the probability of a user’s participation in an election. This may be due to the fact that voters are inclined to support candidates with whom they are acquainted with." 390:

coefficients with the expected sign (acquaintance with the candidate weighing positively), and the authors conclude that "we can already explain voting behavior by just examining the immediate neighborhood of a voter", but note that "it is interesting to note that the presence of contacts who have voted negatively weighs more heavily compared with those who voted positively."

522: 495:. The study suggests that "Knowledge (XXG) provides better coverage and longer articles, and that it typically has more articles on women than Britannica in absolute terms, but we also find that Knowledge (XXG) articles on women are more likely to be missing than are articles on men relative to Britannica". See the 220:("Don’t bite the newbies: how reverts affect the quantity and quality of Knowledge (XXG) work"), reports on the effects of reverts on the quality and quantity of Knowledge (XXG) editors, with a specific focus on newbies. The study uses a number of key metrics to assess the quality of editor contributions (using 249:
Reverts affect the quality of one's work: reverted editors are less likely to be reverted in the future (particularly in the week after the revert), whereas the probability of being reverted in the control group keeps growing every week.

this seems like a dubious analysis: "reverted editors are less likely to be reverted in the future (particularly in the week after the revert), whereas the probability of being reverted in the control group keeps growing every week." the second part can be rephrased as "the longer you edit the more

My point is that the first part is a good interpretation, but the second part (once recast as I do), is not a good comparison: since everyone gets reverted eventually (even it its due to making a page-breaking error, or because one accidentally waded into a can of worm), it is the normal behavior
1393:
My thoughts exactly! The fact that reverted editors edit less and non-reverted editors edit more is very likely due to the caliber of the edits made. Bad editors, editors that are clowning around or vandalizing, are apt to be reverted and also less likely to edit in the future than "good" editors

Not so sure about the current variety of wildlife, last I heard Antarctica was mostly ice cap with a few penguins round the coast. Things would have been very different a few million years ago, but in recent millennia there has not been much plantlife except in the surrounding seas.
517:. Drawing from new qualitative research (interviews with editors of the Spanish Knowledge (XXG)) as well as existing quantitative research, the book concludes that recognizing the gifts Wikipedians make, through meritocracy and explicit acknowledgement, helps motivate participation. 1283:

Just a important general note about reverts: Not all editors are equal. The dumber a person is, the more likely it is that they will be reverted. So, even if reverts suppress future editing, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
349:, link spam is currently "an annoying, but non-pervasive issue", but could become a grave threat to Knowledge (XXG) if new spam techniques that were explored by some of them in another paper (see below) become more widespread. 259: 560:. The author applies this ontology to extract provenance for Knowledge (XXG) articles and to assess their quality, thereby identifying "several collaboration patterns that are preferable or detrimental for data quality". 253:
