摘要

关于维基百科知识协作的研究主要集中在文章层面的元数据或以编辑为中心的分析上，常常忽略了知识协作的复杂性及其上下文依赖性。本研究采用一种新颖的、细粒度的方法来研究维基百科知识协作中的修订机制。通过考虑修饰句作为集体知识和空间的载体，其中认知能力是协商的，它重建了它们的修订序列，并研究了编辑、上下文、内容和时间因素如何塑造维基百科的修订动态。使用文本挖掘、自然语言处理、生存分析和元分析，对537篇与气候变化相关的维基百科文章中76525个句子的140,593个修订（由48,643位编辑）进行了分析。这些发现扩展了我们对认知能力是如何通过官僚规则和维基百科社区节制下的集体努力来协商的理解。

Decoding revision mechanisms in Wikipedia: Collaboration, moderation, and collectivities

Research on knowledge collaboration in Wikipedia has predominately focused on metadata at the article level or editor-centric analyses, often overlooking the complexities of knowledge collaboration and its contextual dependencies. This study takes a novel, fine-grained approach to investigating revision mechanisms in Wikipedia’s knowledge collaboration. By considering modified sentences as carriers of collective knowledge and spaces in which epistemic power is negotiated, it reconstructs their revision sequences and examines how editorial, contextual, content, and temporal factors shape Wikipedia’s revision dynamics. A total of 140,593 revisions (by 48,643 editors) of 76,525 sentences in 537 Wikipedia articles related to climate change were analyzed using text mining, natural language processing, survival analysis, and meta-analysis. The findings expand our understanding of how epistemic power is negotiated through collective endeavors underlying bureaucratic rules and community moderation in Wikipedia.

The journal includes contributions on: -the individual and the social, the cultural and the political dimensions of new media -the global and local dimensions of the relationship between media and social change -contemporary as well as historical developments -the implications and impacts of, as well as the determinants and obstacles to, media change the relationship between theory, policy and practice.
