[WikiEN-l] Talk before you type: Interesting paper on growth in Wikipedia talk pages

[Keith Old]

G'day folks,

Researchers at IBM's Visual Comnunication Lab have published an interesting
paper called "Talk Before You Type: Coordination in Wikipedia" at the 40th
Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences held recently.

It shows an interesting representation of edit wars and looks at a strong
growth in talk and user talk pages. It was posted on Chris Lott's blog which
is also worth a look.
