Re: Interesting research?

Awhile back I found an interesting lecture by Luca de Alfaro on YouTube 
called How (Much) To Trust Wikipedia. It deals with methods of figuring 
out whether to trust information within an article.

Another interesting work is "How Wikipedia Works"-- a book by Wikipedia 
editors Phoebe, Charles Matthews, and the late Tlogmer. It has several 
exciting stories, such as the one about a stub created by Jimbo that was 
deleted within minutes.
