维基百科合作价值评估
Assessing the Value of Coooperation in Wikipedia
摘要：
自六年前成立以来，在线百科全书维基百科已经积累了640万篇文章和2.5亿次编辑，主要是由577万名志愿者以无定向和随意的方式贡献的。尽管明显缺乏秩序，但480万贡献者对英语维基百科150万篇文章的5000万次编辑遵循着强烈的整体性。我们发现，一个简单的随机机制描述的文章的编辑的增长，导致大量的编辑高度可见的文章的沉重的尾巴。我们还展示了文章质量和编辑数量之间的重要相关性，这验证了维基百科作为一个成功的合作努力。
英文摘要：
Since its inception six years ago, the online encyclopedia Wikipedia has accumulated 6.40 million articles and 250 million edits, contributed in a predominantly undirected and haphazard fashion by 5.77 million unvetted volunteers. Despite the apparent lack of order, the 50 million edits by 4.8 million contributors to the 1.5 million articles in the English-language Wikipedia follow strong certain overall regularities. We show that the accretion of edits to an article is described by a simple stochastic mechanism, resulting in a heavy tail of highly visible articles with a large number of edits. We also demonstrate a crucial correlation between article quality and number of edits, which validates Wikipedia as a successful collaborative effort.
