Abstract

Allowing anyone to edit content is the philosophy of most wikis. Such approach does not ensure that the editor is a specialist in the topic and is well-meaning. Poor quality of the content and vandalism can be a major problem. We did a literature review on quality of information and criteria and examined a number wiki applications seeking to understand the process of authorship being used in larger wiki sites, such as those run by the Wikimedia Foundation and present a conceptual model to enforce quality in Wiki content. In this model, we suggest that each article should have an evaluation resulting from voting a pool of reviewers and that a historical record of the evaluation should be keep and available to users.
