Re: [Wiki-research-l] Introduction and a simple question

Joe Reagle's "Good Faith Collaboration" is an excellent alternative.

It has currently 34,478 articles and a very active user base of probably less than 30 users. My approach is wholistic, recounting the general history of Wikipedia, the Icelandic Wikipedia, the statistical development and possibly conduct interviews with contributing users. Any pointers on interesting research - especially with regard to small language communities - would be well appriciated. In searching for sources on the general history of Wikipedia, the best overview I found is Andrew Lih's The Wikipedia Revolution (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Revolution). I find it to be interesting but incomplete and rather sloppy when it comes to citing sources. He should have finished it off with more care. Does anyone know of a better alternative?
