*Jointly They Edit: Examining the Impact of Community Identification on
Political Interaction in Wikipedia*

Our results indicate that users who proclaim their political affiliation
within the community tend to proclaim their identity as a ‘Wikipedian’ even
more loudly. It seems that the shared identity of ‘being Wikipedian’ may be
strong enough to triumph over other potentially divisive facets of personal
identity, such as political affiliation.

Victoria
