I am a brand new Master's student at Purdue. For my Social Network Analysis class, I'm thinking about doing a project about whether a Wikipedian's centrality in a network can be used as a predictor of future participation. I've spent the afternoon looking for relevant literature. I found the very interesting
"Validity Issues in the Use of Social Network Analysis with Digital Trace Data" by Howison, Wiggins, and Crowston and "Network analysis of collaboration structure in Wikipedia" by Brandes et al.
I'm wondering if there are other papers about how to translate Wikipedia into a network structure, or even more specifically relating to node-level centrality measures and participation measures.
Very many thanks, Jeremy Foote
