Hi everyone! I'm looking for some reading. I hope this is an acceptable use of this list.
Which are the core Wikipedia papers, that shaped understanding Wikipedia and Wikipedia research?
Which are the papers or other research that taught you the most unexpected things about Wikipedia and ran contrary to your preconceived notions about the encyclopedia?

Sure.
Which are the core Wikipedia papers, that shaped understanding Wikipedia and Wikipedia research?
Hard to tell, but there was an attempt to have some selected pointers organised by topic: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Codex
Depending on your selection criteria, you might also find some help from various literature reviews which were published in the past, or from semi-curated databases like Wikipapers http://wikipapers.referata.com/wiki/Main_Page.

Hello,
I guess it is hard to define a canon. For me, personally, it would be - "The rise and decline…", as it gives a good model for declining editor numbers [1] - "Trace Ethnography" which has been influential in digital ethnography [2] - "Wikipedia and the politics of openness" [3] as it views Wikipedia much through the lens of critical theory.
