We provide correlational evidence of this across thousands of Wikipedia articles and causal evidence of it through a randomized control trial where we add new scientific content to Wikipedia. In the months after uploading it, an average new Wikipedia article in Chemistry is read tens of thousands of times and causes changes to hundreds of related scientific journal articles. Patterns in these changes suggest that Wikipedia articles are used as review articles, summarizing an area of science and highlighting the research contributions to it. Consistent with this reference article view, we find causal evidence that when scientific articles are added as references to Wikipedia, those articles accrue more academic citations. [...] </p><p>For each Wikipedia article that we created for this experiment we paid students $100.

For me, the salient point is that Wikipedia combines an increasingly strict insistence on quality (citations, neutrality, non-commerciality, copyright, and all the rest) with rather little in the way of training and apprenticeship for newcomers. Helping even an able, willing, and co-operative newbie into editing an area effectively is quite a lot of work, specially for the first week or two, and such coaching requires expertise, energy and teaching skill, all quantities in quite short supply. But throwing newcomers straight into the rigours of editing live articles with no training seems increasingly drastic; it was alarming being a newbie over a decade ago, and now it's certainly worse. Other measures than apprenticeships and coaching are imaginable: we could encourage people to take an online tutorial; we could have a pop-up box asking new editors to make their suggestion on an article's talk page until they get the hang of things; there could be an automated 20-questions test so newcomers could see what skills they needed to get started; and so on. And of course, a safe place for new female editors in particular would be very welcome. <a href="/wiki/User:Chiswick_Chap" title="User:Chiswick Chap">Chiswick Chap</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Chiswick_Chap" title="User talk:Chiswick Chap">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2020-03-29/Recent_research#c-Chiswick_Chap-2020-04-02T09:01:00.000Z-Discuss_this_story" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">09:01, 2 April 2020 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Chiswick_Chap-2020-04-02T09:01:00.000Z-Discuss_this_story"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Chiswick_Chap-2020-04-02T09:01:00.000Z-Discuss_this_story"></span> </p> <dl><dd><a href="/wiki/User:Chiswick_Chap" title="User:Chiswick Chap"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Eddie891-2020-04-03T18:35:00.000Z-Chiswick_Chap-2020-04-02T09:01:00.000Z"></span>Chiswick Chap</a>: As a relative newcomer (although I guess I've now been here for over three years), I can attest that it is not very easy to learn the ins-and outs of Wikipedia. I don't recall having much help figuring things out, and I think I just got lucky by meeting very patient editors like <a href="/wiki/User:Display_name_99" title="User:Display name 99">Display Name 99</a> didn't get angry when I made mistakes. All I remember is that it felt to me like Wikipedia was empty and I was pretty alone. For me, I think that helped because I took my time, writing a draft article first, mainly just adding citations in the mainspace until things started to make sense. With that being said, a lot of my work was definitely sub-par, and I think I'm very lucky nobody scared me away from editing. As I remember, the first automated message I got just seemed very impersonal and didn't help at all because it just overwhelmed me with things I wasn't interested in at all. On the other hand, I remember The Wikipedia Adventure actually as a big help initially. So, in summery, I'd say that the biggest thing we can do is have patience and not <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Don%27t_bite_the_newcomers" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Don't bite the newcomers">not bite the newcomers</a>. Automated messages only overwhelmed me, but more interactive things like the test or box you suggest may have a better effect. Again, this is only based on my experience, and I don't think it's universally applicable. <a href="/wiki/User:Eddie891" title="User:Eddie891">Eddie891</a> <small><i><sup> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Eddie891" title="User talk:Eddie891">Talk</a></sup> <sub><a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Eddie891" title="Special:Contributions/Eddie891">Work</a></sub></i> </small> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2020-03-29/Recent_research#c-Eddie891-2020-04-03T18:35:00.000Z-Chiswick_Chap-2020-04-02T09:01:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">18:35, 3 April 2020 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Eddie891-2020-04-03T18:35:00.000Z-Chiswick_Chap-2020-04-02T09:01:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Eddie891-2020-04-03T18:35:00.000Z-Chiswick_Chap-2020-04-02T09:01:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <ul><li><span class="template-ping"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Nosebagbear-2020-04-03T10:38:00.000Z-Chiswick_Chap-2020-04-02T09:01:00.000Z"></span>@<a href="/wiki/User:RaiderAspect" title="User:RaiderAspect">RaiderAspect</a> and <a href="/wiki/User:%D7%A9%D7%9C%D7%95%D7%9E%D7%99%D7%AA_%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%A8" title="User:שלומית ליר">שלומית ליר</a>:</span> - those are certainly the worst "outside wiki" risks that would come from reduced anonymity, but there are also other possibilities.
