Retaining academics as Wikipedia editors is challenging. Many drop off due to time demands and lack of compensation. For full-time researchers, editing is often relegated to evenings, weekends, and holidays. Thanks to @nature.com for highlighting this. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

How do people *really* read Wikipedia? 📖 👀 We explored how readers navigate, fall into rabbit holes, and engage with information in a chapter for the ‘Handbook of Computational Social Science,’ edited by @tahayasseri.bsky.social. Stay tuned for the full book! 📚 Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2501.00939
