分析俄版维基分叉如何篡改内容以符合本国法律
Characterizing Knowledge Manipulation in a Russian Wikipedia Fork
- 对比超190万篇文章，识别俄版维基的修改模式
- 发现主要篡改领域并估算其覆盖范围
- 提供可复用于其他维基分叉的分析方法
维基百科基于MediaWiki开源系统，该系统也被用于多个基于维基的在线百科全书。其中包括新推出的Ruwiki网站，其复制并修改了原始俄语维基百科的内容，以符合俄罗斯法律。为识别与不同形式知识操纵相关联的实践和叙事，本文对这一俄语维基分叉进行了深入分析。我们提出一种方法，以表征与原始版本相比的主要变更。本研究的基础是针对超过190万篇来自俄语维基百科及其分叉的全面比较分析。利用元信息以及地理、时间、类别和文本特征，我们探索了Ruwiki编辑者所做的更改。此外，我们对这一分叉中知识操纵的主要主题进行了分类，并提供了其范围的量化估计。这项研究不仅揭示了Ruwiki内部的重大变化，还提供了一种可用于分析其他维基分叉及类似协作项目的通用方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Wikipedia is powered by MediaWiki, a free and open-source software that is also the infrastructure for many other wiki-based online encyclopedias. These include the recently launched website Ruwiki, which has copied and modified the original Russian Wikipedia content to conform to Russian law. To identify practices and narratives that could be associated with different forms of knowledge manipulation, this article presents an in-depth analysis of this Russian Wikipedia fork. We propose a methodology to characterize the main changes with respect to the original version. The foundation of this study is a comprehensive comparative analysis of more than 1.9M articles from Russian Wikipedia and its fork. Using meta-information and geographical, temporal, categorical, and textual features, we explore the changes made by Ruwiki editors. Furthermore, we present a classification of the main topics of knowledge manipulation in this fork, including a numerical estimation of their scope. This research not only sheds light on significant changes within Ruwiki, but also provides a methodology that could be applied to analyze other Wikipedia forks and similar collaborative projects.
