    Measuring Wikipedia article quality by revision count
    (Bahçeşehir Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2012-06) Bayık, Mustafa Utku; Aytekin, Tevfik
    Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia which has millions of articles. Since articles are collaboratively edited by many users there is no standard in the quality of articles. Although there are articles which have high quality (such as featured articles), some articles have poor quality or insufficient information. In this work we propose to use monthly revision histories of articles in order to assess article quality. We use featured articles in Wikipedia as our standard for quality articles. We extract features from revision history of each article and try to classify articles as featured and non-featured using well-known machine learning algorithms. We achieve a satisfactory classification performance using our methodology as the experimental results on a Wikipedia article dataset that we create shows. We think that this performance is open to further improvement by extracting more features.
