Social and Information Networks 2015-02-17 v1

Abstract

Wikipedia introduced a new social function "wiki-thanks". "Wiki-thanks" enable editors to send thanks to other editors' contributions. In this paper, we aim to investigate this new social tool from different cultural perspectives. To achieve this goal, we analyze "wiki-thanks" log events and compared the English, German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Finish language Wikipedias.
