这篇论文讲到了GFW封锁维基百科对于社群规模和活跃用户贡献量的影响。
摘要部分:
大概翻译一下We find, however, that after an exogenous reduction of group size at Chinese Wikipedia, the nonblocked contributors decrease their contributions by 42.8 percent on average. We attribute the cause to social effects: contributors receive social benefits that increase with both the amount of their contributions and group size, and the shrinking group size weakens these social benefits. Consistent with our explanation, we find that the more contributors value social benefits, the more they reduce their contributions after the block.
扫了一眼,主要部分是做了个回归模型。但是,我们发现在中文维基百科社群规模减小后,未封禁受封锁影响的贡献者的平均贡献率减少了42.8%。我们将其归因为社会效应:贡献者所获得社会效益和本人的贡献量与社群规模正相关,不断缩水的社群规模减弱了社会效益。与我们的解释相符的是,我们发现越是注重社会效益的贡献者,在维基百科被封锁后的贡献量减少的越多。
