This addresses the challenge of maintaining verifiability and quality in Wikipedia content for editors and users, but it is incremental as it focuses on descriptive analysis without proposing new methods.
The paper tackled the problem of understanding how Wikipedia editors create and collect references for new articles, mapping their workflow and selection processes.
References are an essential part of Wikipedia. Each statement in Wikipedia should be referenced. In this paper, we explore the creation and collection of references for new Wikipedia articles from an editors' perspective. We map out the workflow of editors when creating a new article, emphasising how they select references.
