[Wiki-research-l] different language Wikipedias and knowledge migration
Dear all, I'm currently writing a research proposal focused on Wikipedia as a case study in cross-cultural migration of epistemic cultures, and I need some help on the lit. review part. I'm looking for studies dealing directly with the attempt to adopt policies from one language version to another (such as the attempt to introduce flagged revisions on the English Wikipedia), but also for ones comparing between standards and policies in different language Wikipedias. I would greatly appreciate any help, as I only found a handful of possibly relevant articles.

Dear Lior, The WikiLit website has a category on Cultural and linguistic effects on participation: http://wikilit.referata.com/wiki/Category:Cultural_and_linguistic_effects_on_participation. You might find some useful studies among the 10 listed there.

Dear Lior, Let me introduce two papers of mine one on linguistics aspect, probably not much of your interest, although discussing Simple English Wikipedia with lots of applications in education, and the other one on cultural differences among different language editions in terms of editorial wars and controversial topics: A Practical Approach to Language Complexity: A Wikipedia Case Study http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0048386 The most controversial topics in Wikipedia: A multilingual and geographical analysis http://arxiv.org/abs/1305.5566 bests, Taha On Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 12:06 PM, lior gimel lior.gi...@gmail.com wrote: Dear all, I'm currently writing a research proposal focused on Wikipedia as a case study in cross-cultural migration of epistemic cultures, and I need some help on the lit. review part.
