Abstract: In this paper, we present a study of the collaborative writing process in Wikipedia. Our work is
based on a corpus of 1,995 edits obtained from 891 article revisions in the English Wikipedia.
We propose a 21-category classification scheme for edits based on Faigley and Witte's (1981)
model. Example edit categories include spelling error corrections and vandalism. In a manual
multi-label annotation study with 3 annotators, we obtain an inter-annotator agreement of
= 0.67. We further analyze the distribution of edit categories for distinct stages in the revision
history of 10 featured and 10 non-featured articles. Our results show that the information
content in featured articles tends to become more stable after their promotion. On the opposite,
this is not true for non-featured articles. We make the resulting corpus and the annotation
guidelines freely available.1
