Hello Kevin Crowston,
THank you for the link. I have read your paper about the initial phase
and profited very much from it.
My personal opinion on UP editing, not backed by research: IP editing
has negative social consequences for the community. This negative side
is not quite visible when only looking quantitatively at huge data.
Kind regards
Ziko

In case I didn’t make it clear, I am very much of the camp that IP
editing
is our lifeline, the way we recruit new members.
Tangentially elated to this question, we have a forthcoming paper at
the CSCW conference about how research conclusions change when
anonymous work (e.g., IP editing) is taken into account. We looked
at data from a
citizen
science project. Short answer: it makes a
difference.
The paper isn’t up on the ACM DL yet, but you can see it here:
https://crowston.syr.edu/node/756
Doing the study requires access to IP addresses for logged in users,
so someone at WMF would have to do the study for Wikipedia, which
would be really interesting and would speak to the question of
whether IP editing
is
a gateway to further editing.
