I really like Ayelet Oz's study of the decision-making process preceding
the 2011 SOPA blackout:

Hi everyone,
I am doing a lit review on the topic of democratic decision making on
Wikipedia. I wonder - what are your favorite papers on this subject?
So far the most extensive discussions I've found are
Black, Laura, Ted Welser, Jocely DeGroot, and Daniel Cosley. 2008
"Wikipedia is not a democracy”: Deliberation and policy-making in an online
community."
Hilbert, Martin. 2009. The Maturing Concept of E-Democracy: From
E-Voting and Online Consultations to Democratic Value Out of Jumbled Online
Chatter
Klemp. Nathaniel J. 2010. From Town-Halls to Wikis: Exploring
Wikipedia's Implications for Deliberative Democracy.
Reagle's 2010 book subchapter on "Polling and Voting".
Firer-Blaess, Sylvain 2011. Wikipedia: an Example for Electronic
Democracy? Decision, Discipline and Discourse in the Collaborative
Encyclopedia
What did I miss?
In the broader scope, I'd also appreciate suggestions as to the best
readings in the area of Internet communities and democracy. To be more
precise, let me stress the word community here. The literature in
e-democracy and related terms is of course very broad, but I am interested
in studies of how online communities (like Wikipedia) make
(quasi?)democratic decisions. Wikipedians vote, and Wikimedians in general
do as well. How unique are they (are we...) in this? Who else has such
votes? Redditors? Slashdotians? Other groups? What are the turnouts,
trends? Would appreciate any information that comes to mind.
