References in Wikipedia: The Editors' Perspective (2102.12511v2)
Published 24 Feb 2021 in cs.CL, cs.CY, and cs.DL
Abstract: References are an essential part of Wikipedia. Each statement in Wikipedia should be referenced. In this paper, we explore the creation and collection of references for new Wikipedia articles from an editors' perspective. We map out the workflow of editors when creating a new article, emphasising how they select references.
