Title:

“Wikipedians are born, not made” – applying the learnings from a 10-year-old research paper after all

Theme:

Reliability of Information
+ Other

Type of session:

Lightning Talk

Abstract:

Is there a trend that numerous high-quality articles are written about very specialized topics (e.g. a specific battle or historical biography), while general articles that are useful to a wide audience (e.g. "vital" articles) does not get as much quality? A quick look based on comparing FA/GA status and view count statistics indicates some evidence for this, at least for recent years.
