根据定义,人们沉默寡言,甚至不愿意谈论禁忌话题。由于性、健康和暴力等主题在大多数文化中都是禁忌,因此很难获得有关这些主题的重要信息。像维基百科这样的同行产生的知识库是一种有前途的方法,为人们提供有关禁忌话题的信息吗?由于依赖于可能也反对禁忌的志愿者,同伴生产模式能否生产出关于禁忌主题的高质量信息?在本文中,我们试图了解的作用,禁忌的知识库产生的志愿者。我们这样做,通过开发一种新的计算方法来确定禁忌的主题,并使用这种方法来确定一组在英文维基百科上的禁忌主题的文章。我们发现,关于禁忌话题的文章比非禁忌文章更受欢迎,而且它们经常被破坏。尽管频繁的恶意破坏攻击,我们也发现,禁忌的文章比非禁忌的文章质量更高。我们假设,污名化的社会态度将导致贡献者的禁忌主题,以寻求更少的识别。虽然我们的研究结果在几个方面与这一建议是一致的,我们惊讶地发现,贡献者使自己更容易识别的其他人。
By definition, people are reticent or even unwilling to talk about taboo subjects. Because subjects like sexuality, health, and violence are taboo in most cultures, important information on each of these subjects can be difficult to obtain. Are peer produced knowledge bases like Wikipedia a promising approach for providing people with information on taboo subjects? With its reliance on volunteers who might also be averse to taboo, can the peer production model produce high-quality information on taboo subjects? In this paper, we seek to understand the role of taboo in knowledge bases produced by volunteers. We do so by developing a novel computational approach to identify taboo subjects and by using this method to identify a set of articles on taboo subjects in English Wikipedia. We find that articles on taboo subjects are more popular than non-taboo articles and that they are frequently vandalized. Despite frequent vandalism attacks, we also find that taboo articles are higher quality than non-taboo articles. We hypothesize that stigmatizing societal attitudes will lead contributors to taboo subjects to seek to be less identifiable. Although our results are consistent with this proposal in several ways, we surprisingly find that contributors make themselves more identifiable in others.
