Chitu - these are not machine-generated results. :) It's the work of a human!
I searched for "wikipedia" and "wikipedian" in google scholar and rejected the ones that I felt were not actually *about* wikipedia itself, then I searched for fernanda's paper because I know it is one of the top cited papers about wikipedia (note that it does NOT have wikipedia in the title) to come up with a set of 10-15 readings that our team could all start with.
