Anthony, Denise, Sean Smith, and Tim Williamson. The Quality of Open Source Production: Zealots
and Good Samaritans in the Case of Wikipedia. Rep. Dartmouth College, 2007. Print. These
researchers have performed an in depth analysis of the contributors of Wikipedia. They compare
registered users to random people, their frequency of contributions, and what is the quality of the
edits they perform.
Giles, Jim. "Internet Encyclopedias Go Head to Head." Nature 438 (2005): 900-01. Print. This article
compares Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Brittanica in a head to head battle. It determines that the
quality of Wikipedia articles are just as close, if not better, then the equivalent Britannica entry.
It is among the most well-known comparisons between Wikipedia and traditional encyclopedia
sources.
"Reliability of Wikipedia." Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia. Web. 12 Oct. 2010.
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliability_of_Wikipedia>. Wikipedia itself describes several
studies and assessments that have been made regarding the accuracy of the information found
within the website. There are comments from librarians, medical researchers, academia, and
other encyclopedia editors regarding the site. The repeating concept is that Wikipedia is a great
source for basic factual information and provides individuals a with way to easily find links to
other sources.
Seeyle, Katharine Q. "Snared in the Web of a Wikipedia Liar." The New York Times - Breaking News,
World News & Multimedia. 5 Dec. 2005. Web. 12 Oct. 2010.
<http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/04/weekinreview/04seelye.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1>.
The New York Times journalist has interviewed an individual who was victimized by falsified
information on Wikipedia. It explains how with the volume of information that is coming in, it is
too difficult to possibly weed out all the errors. The journalist brings in other sources that are
both in favor and against Wikipedia, but explains how that in the end there will always be
mistakes, no matter how carefully everything is checked.
Wilkinson, Dennis, and Bernardo Huberman. Cooperation and Quality in Wikipedia. Hewlett-Packard
Labs. Hewlett-Packard, 23 Oct. 2007. Web. 12 Oct. 2010. <http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/idl/
papers/wikipedia/wikipedia07.pdf>. This research essay, put together by researchers from
Hewlett Packard Labs, puts a mathematical formula behind finding the accuracy of a Wikipedia
article. It takes into account the time it has been online, how many edits have been made by
humans, and how popular the article is. In comparing articles, the researchers have discovered
that the more edits and cooperation within the discussion boards lead to more accurate and high
quality articles.
