Hi,

I will go as far as saying that Wikipedia research actually changed the
nature of the CSCW field and the CSCW conference. A few years ago an
avalanche of Wiki-related papers arrived to the CSCW conference, which
(in my opinion as a semi-outsider to that community) added social media
as a major element. Indeed in recent years the conference changed name
and now is "Computer-Supported Collaborative Work and Social Computing".

Cheers,
