[Chris Tinney]

  Cooperation and quality in Wikipedia
(LINK REFERENCE DESCRIPTION)
were evaluated from a study done by
the Information Dynamics Laboratory,
Hewlett-Packard Labs, using as raw
data, all 55.3 million edits to English
Wikipedia edition, from beginning of
JAN 01 to 2 NOV 06.  Conclusion:
Wikipedia high-quality articles can
be distinguished by the "larger number
of edits and distinct editors . . .", with
"more intense patterns of cooperation".
