| − | ==== Abstract ====
| + | |
| − | The study of collaboration patterns in wikis can help shed light on the process of content creation by online communities.
| + | |
| − | To turn a wiki's revision history into a collaboration network, we propose an algorithm that identifies as authors of a page the users who provided the most of its relevant content, measured in terms of quantity and of acceptance by the community.
| + | |
| − | The scalability of this approach allows us to study the English Wikipedia community as a co-authorship network.
| + | |
| − | We find evidence of the presence of a nucleus of very active contributors, who seem to spread over the whole wiki, and to interact preferentially with inexperienced users.
| + | |
| − | The fundamental role played by this elite is witnessed by the growing centrality of sociometric stars in the network.
| + | |
| − | Isolating the community active around a category, it is possible to study its specific dynamics and most influential authors.
