随着维基百科成为世界上使用最多的知识库之一，它所传播的信息的可信度问题成为了核心问题。通过WikipediaViz，我们在维基百科布局中引入了五种视觉指标，可以让维基百科的普通读者意识到他们所读文章的重要元信息。WikipediaViz的设计灵感来自于两次参与式设计会议，由维基百科的专家作者和社会学家解释了他们用来快速评估文章可信度的线索。根据这些结果，我们提出了维基百科文章的成熟度和质量评估的五个指标，以及它们的可视化，为读者提供了关于编辑过程的重要线索。我们还报告和讨论我们进行的用户研究的结果。两项初步的试点研究表明，我们所有的研究对象几乎都盲目地相信维基百科的文章。在第三项研究中，我们表明WikipediaViz显著减少了评估文章质量所需的时间，同时保持了良好的准确性。
As Wikipedia has become one of the most used knowledge bases worldwide, the problem of the trustworthiness of the information it disseminates becomes central. With WikipediaViz, we introduce five visual indicators integrated to the Wikipedia layout that can keep casual Wikipedia readers aware of important metainformation about the articles they read. The design of WikipediaViz was inspired by two participatory design sessions with expert Wikipedia writers and sociologists who explained the clues they used to quickly assess the trustworthiness of articles. According to these results, we propose five metrics for Maturity and Quality assessment of Wikipedia articles and their accompanying visualizations to provide the readers with important clues about the editing process at a glance. We also report and discuss about the results of the user studies we conducted. Two preliminary pilot studies show that all our subjects trust Wikipedia articles almost blindly. With the third study, we show that WikipediaViz significantly reduces the time required to assess the quality of articles while maintaining a good accuracy.
