Community Self-Management (Wiki Model Sample Clauses

Community Self-Management (Wiki Model. The major alternative to centralized management is the Wiki model. Most Wikis, especially the largest one Wikipedia, have no official community managers at all. Based on the fact that as of 20 October 2020 Wikipedia had 6,178,330 articles created and maintained by nearly 6,000 high-volume editors391 and a further 10,000 medium-volume editors392, all created between 2002 and 2020, it can be said to be the most successful crowdsourcing project of all time.393 For many pro-open source Wikipedians such as 387 Subject F, interview by Author, London, April, 20 2020 388 Subject D, interview by Author, London, 01 June 2020 389 Subject E, interview by Author, London, April 2020 390 Subject H, interview by Author, London, 25 May 2020 391 High volume meaning more than 100 edits documented on their profile 392 Between 25 and 99 edits documented 393 “Wikipedia:Size of Wikipedia,” in Wikipedia, October 20, 2020, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia&oldid=984440392. interview Subject L, this is clear evidence that centralized authority is a limiting factor in the growth and sustainability of a crowdsourcing project.394 The self-correcting nature that is common to Wikis, supports the claim that a heterarchy is able to demonstrate strong resilience during the adaptive cycle and absorb growth effectively. As Peter and Swilling note, the flatter the hierarchy the less likely there is to be a power struggle between key stakeholders.395 In the Wiki model, no one has an official position higher than anyone else so there is no opportunity to abuse power. Wikipedia’s fastest growth took place in its the first eight years and it has maintained steady growth of between 4-7% from 2014 to 2020.396 While there are some members in the Wikimedia Foundation whose job involves working with the community and development plans for Wikipedia as a whole, the community itself is self-regulating. Without input from a central authority, the community can meet its goals of providing up to date and largely accurate information on a wide variety of subjects.397 The method by which they manage the community is built into the Wiki’s crowdsourcing nature. By having a large community that checks on itself, community management is taken care of by the same people as work on the project. The volume of contributors means that each person can do small amounts of correction and provide support for fellow community members and in aggregate the whole community is managed.398 ...
