Hi Haifeng, In addition to the two you mention, WikiProjects might have "Collaboration of the Week", there's the WikiCup, there's Wiki Ed. We studied all of those in our 2015 CSCW paper: The Success and Failure of Quality Improvement Projects in Peer Production Communities https://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~morten/publications/cscw2015-improvementprojects.pdf
I would also recommend looking at the research on article quality that has been done by Kane & Ransbotham. Right now I don't have the time to look up their work again, but if I remember correctly they also looked at the virtuous cycle of traffic and quality.
