Abstract

Online IR tools have to take into account new phenomena linked to the appearance of blogs, wiki and other collaborative publications. Among these collaborative sites, Wikipedia represents a crucial source of information. However, the quality of this information has been recently questionned. A better knowledge of the contributors' behaviors should help users navigate through information whose quality may vary from one source to another. In order to explore this idea, we present an analysis of the role of different types of contributors in the control of the publication of conflictual articles.
