中文简介:
新媒体提供了全新的合作方式,为处理规模或复杂性极大的任务提供了前所未有的机会。这种价值生产最突出的例子是维基百科(WP),这是一个免费的、协作的、多语言的互联网百科全书。它的发展不受先验选择的专家团队的监督,它的自愿编辑定义它的规则并保持它的质量。毫无疑问,WP的规模比任何其他百科全书都要大,到今天它已经成为实践中最重要的参考文献。由于每个编辑和讨论帖子都被记录下来,并且可供调查,WP特别适合研究基于Internet的协作过程。虽然大多数文章都以平稳、建设性的方式发展,但WP页面的历史并不总是和平的;有时,代表对立意见的团体之间会爆发激烈的“编辑战争”。WP社区创建了一个完整的系统来解决冲突情况,包括所谓的“三回规则”,锁定非注册编辑的文章,标记有争议的文章,暂时或最终禁止恶意编辑。尽管有这些规定,冲突如何产生和解决仍然是一个有趣的问题。我们提出了一种新的、有效的方法来自动检测维基百科中的编辑战争,并将此方法应用于六种不同的语言WPs,我们讨论了编辑的数量、回复的次数、讨论的长度、编辑和回复的强度如何偏离了那些遵循一般工作流的页面,并认为早期的工作极大地高估了维基百科编辑过程的复杂性。使用我们的争议测量方法,我们分析了冲突页面的时间演变,并确定了三个不同的类别:i)局部的,单一问题的冲突,ii)局部的,多问题的冲突,iii)永久战争。
课程简介: The new media enable entirely new ways of collaborations, that open unprecedented opportunities for handling tasks of extraordinary size or complexity. The most prominent example of such value production is Wikipedia (WP), a free, collaborative, multilingual Internet encyclopedia. It evolves without the supervision of an a priori selected expert team, its voluntary editors define its rules and maintain its quality. The size of WP is unquestionably superior to any other encyclopedia and by today it has become the number one reference in practice. As every edit and discussion post is recorded and available for investigation, WP is particularly well suited to study Internet based collaborative processes. While most articles evolve in a smooth, constructive manner, the history of WP pages is not always peaceful; there are sometimes heavy fights called edit wars between groups representing opposing opinions. The WP community has created a full system of measures to resolve conflict situations including the so called "three revert rule", locking articles for non-registered editors, tagging controversial articles, temporal or final banning of vicious editors. In spite of all these regulations it remains an interesting question, how conflicts emerge and get resolved. We present a new, efficient method for automatically detecting edit wars in Wikipedia and apply this method to six different language WPs. We discuss how the number of edits, reverts, the length of discussions, the burstiness of edits and reverts deviate in such pages from those following the general workflow and argue that earlier work has significantly over-estimated the contentiousness of the Wikipedia editing process. Using our measure of controversiality we analyze the temporal evolution of conflict pages and identify three different categories: i) localized, single issue conflicts, ii) localized, multiple issue conflicts, iii) permanent war.
