Exploring interactions in Wikipedia talk pages

Résumé

In this chapter we analyze how users interact on Wikipedia talk pages, focusing on the patterns that emerge from a large corpus of 5 million threads across three languages. These patterns take three simple features into account: who posts, when they post, and after whom they post. We begin with an overview and a closer examination of some extreme behaviours: threads with the highest number of users and posts, or those with the longest duration. We then propose fine-grained typologies to analyze the content of a sample of monologal and trilogal openings. This analysis allows us to identify recurring behaviours, some of which we consider specific to the Wikipedia and its contributors, and others more common in online discussions.
