By incorporating a broader
pool of qualitative information taken from interviews and trace ethnography we
want to:
- Uncover emic:
(a) Rationales for adopting algorithm-powered flags and filters
(b) Responses to learning that the algorithm is biased against newcomer
and anonymous editors
(c) Accounts of adoption of the tools and how it might change the Wikis
- Glean clues about:
(a) How might individual Wikipedian behavior change?
(b) What kinds of reverts might have changed the most?
(c) How the tool diffused and how would bias interact with it?
