[Air-l] wikipedia research?

[Andrea Forte]

This is probably the most comprehensive bibliography of Wikipedia research
that I am aware of:

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Research_Bibliography

There are a wide variety of approaches represented on that list. As danah
mentioned, I (along with Amy Bruckman and other students) have written a
few papers that deal with social/motivation aspects of Wikiepedia, which
can be found at:
