    @wikipedia really needs to do some user/editor #ethnography

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_studies_about_Wikipedia contains lots of info on studies, but I can't see anything about how editors interact with the site. It would be be particularly useful to interview people who have been editors in the past and have stopped. And ideally block that across demographics

    I used to edit a lot, but I lost interest after an mildly obnoxious edit war over the interpretation of a low-n metaanalysis (also lack of time)

      Academic studies about Wikipedia
      Wikipedia has been studied extensively. Between 2001 and 2010, researchers published at least 1,746 peer-reviewed articles about the online encyclopedia. Such studies are greatly facilitated by the fact that Wikipedia's database can be downloaded without help from the site owner. Research topics have included the reliability of the encyclopedia and various forms of systemic bias; social aspects of the Wikipedia community (including administration, policy, and demographics); the encyclopedia as a dataset for machine learning; and whether Wikipedia trends might predict or influence human behaviour. Notable findings include factual accuracy similar to other encyclopedias, the presence of cultural and gender bias as well as gaps in coverage of the Global South; that a tiny minority of editors produce the majority of content; various models for understanding online conflict; and limited correlation between Wikipedia trends and various phenomena such as stock market movements or electoral results.
