战时维基百科:维基人维护俄乌战争相关条目的经验

Wikipedia in Wartime: Experiences of Wikipedians Maintaining Articles About the Russia-Ukraine War

Laura Kurek, Ceren Budak, Eric Gilbert

AI总结:

通过对13位英语维基百科专家的访谈,研究揭示俄乌战争相关条目面临大量破坏性编辑,维基百科依靠现有政策应对并比社交媒体更具抗虚假信息能力,但维护成本高昂。

摘要:

在持续的地缘政治冲突中,当国家行为体可能试图散布虚假信息或开展信息行动时,维基人如何维护一部准确的百科全书?在俄乌战争的背景下,鉴于俄罗斯政府长期以来精心策划信息战的历史,这一问题变得更加紧迫。我们对英语维基百科上参与俄乌战争主题领域的13位专家维基人进行了访谈研究。尽管参与者认为没有明确证据表明存在国家支持的信息行动,但他们一致认为,与战争相关的条目遭受了来自亲俄和亲乌账号的大量破坏性编辑。英语维基百科已有现成的政策和流程来应对此类破坏。无论是否由国家支持,这些破坏活动都给参与者带来了耗时繁重的维护工作。最后,参与者认为英语维基百科在防止虚假信息在线传播方面比社交媒体更具韧性。文章最后讨论了这对维基百科和社交平台的社会技术启示。

英文摘要:

How do Wikipedians maintain an accurate encyclopedia during an ongoing geopolitical conflict where state actors might seek to spread disinformation or conduct an information operation? In the context of the Russia-Ukraine War, this question becomes more pressing, given the Russian government's extensive history of orchestrating information campaigns. We conducted an interview study with 13 expert Wikipedians involved in the Russo-Ukrainian War topic area on the English-language edition of Wikipedia. While our participants did not perceive there to be clear evidence of a state-backed information operation, they agreed that war-related articles experienced high levels of disruptive editing from both Russia-aligned and Ukraine-aligned accounts. The English-language edition of Wikipedia had existing policies and processes at its disposal to counter such disruption. State-backed or not, the disruptive activity created time-intensive maintenance work for our participants. Finally, participants considered English-language Wikipedia to be more resilient than social media in preventing the spread of false information online. We conclude by discussing sociotechnical implications for Wikipedia and social platforms.
