推动你的观点:维基百科操纵的行为措施
Pushing Your Point of View: Behavioral Measures of Manipulation in Wikipedia
摘要:
作为几乎任何主题的主要信息来源,维基百科在公共传播和知识消费方面发挥着重要作用。因此,它为人们传播自己的观点提供了巨大的潜力;这种努力可能比典型的破坏行为更微妙。在本文中,我们引入了新的行为指标来量化与特定用户相关的争议水平:基于用户关注有争议页面的关注量的控制分数(C-分数),以及还考虑到主题聚类的控制分数(CC-分数)。我们表明,这两种措施是有用的,以确定谁试图“推”他们的观点的人,通过显示他们是很好的预测哪些编辑被封锁。这些指标可以用来对潜在的“推单者”进行分类。我们将这个想法应用于请求提升为管理员状态的用户数据集,并轻松识别出一些在成为管理员后显着改变行为的编辑。同时,此类行为并不猖獗。那些被提升为管理员的人往往比类似的多产编辑群体有更稳定的行为。这表明管理员程序运行良好,维基百科社区不会被成为管理员的用户淹没,以促进他们自己的观点。
英文摘要:
As a major source for information on virtually any topic, Wikipedia serves an important role in public dissemination and consumption of knowledge. As a result, it presents tremendous potential for people to promulgate their own points of view; such efforts may be more subtle than typical vandalism. In this paper, we introduce new behavioral metrics to quantify the level of controversy associated with a particular user: a Controversy Score (C-Score) based on the amount of attention the user focuses on controversial pages, and a Clustered Controversy Score (CC-Score) that also takes into account topical clustering. We show that both these measures are useful for identifying people who try to "push" their points of view, by showing that they are good predictors of which editors get blocked. The metrics can be used to triage potential POV pushers. We apply this idea to a dataset of users who requested promotion to administrator status and easily identify some editors who significantly changed their behavior upon becoming administrators. At the same time, such behavior is not rampant. Those who are promoted to administrator status tend to have more stable behavior than comparable groups of prolific editors. This suggests that the Adminship process works well, and that the Wikipedia community is not overwhelmed by users who become administrators to promote their own points of view.
