  4. Comparing 2003 to 2005 • History Flow (“Abortion”)

  5. Comparing 2003 to 2005 • History Flow (“Chocolate”)

  6. Vandalism • Fast repair in 2003 • First page protected in 2004 • 0.09% pages marked as protected in 2005 • Light restriction on creation in 2006 • Still fast repair in 2006

  7. Vandalism Repair Comparison 2003 2005

  8. Namespaces • More than just encyclopedia articles • Divided into 20 sections

  9. Namespaces (Growth)

  10. Talk Pages (“George W. Bush”)

  11. Talk Pages (Statistics/Content)

  12. Classification of Posts • Requests/suggestions for editing coordination • Requests for information • References to vandalism • References to guidelines and policies • References to internal resources • Off-topic remarks • Polls • Requests for peer review • Information boxes • Images • Other

  13. Results • Requests for coordination • Most common kind of posting • Over half of the contributions • Requests for information • 1 in 10 posts • Gain expert knowledge of specific topics • Requests answered/supportive community • References to guidelines • 7.9% activity • Policies and guidelines actively used • References to internal resources • 5.4% • Importance to refer to existing content
