Get the six degrees of wikipedia mug.The interdisciplinary study of Wikipedia as a social, cultural, and political phenomenon—beyond its surface as an encyclopedia. It applies sociology, anthropology, economics, and political science to understand how Wikipedia’s volunteer community produces knowledge, negotiates disputes, enforces norms, and reproduces power structures. Researchers examine edit wars, systemic bias, the gender gap, notability standards, and the role of algorithms in curation. The field treats Wikipedia not as a neutral repository but as a living social system where truth is constantly contested and collaboratively constructed.
Example: “Her research in the social sciences of Wikipedia showed that articles about Eastern European history were disproportionately shaped by a small group of highly active editors from a single country, not by neutral consensus.”
Sociology of Wikipedia
A focused branch within the social sciences of Wikipedia that examines the community dynamics, hierarchies, roles, and conflict resolution mechanisms of Wikipedia editors. It analyzes how newcomers are socialized, how power accumulates among a small group of “administrators,” how disputes are settled through mediation and arbitration, and how shared norms like neutral point of view (NPOV) are interpreted and enforced. The sociology of Wikipedia reveals that the “anyone can edit” ideal is shaped by unwritten rules, status systems, and cliques.
Example: “The sociology of Wikipedia uncovered that less than 1% of editors make over 70% of edits—a tiny elite steering the world’s largest encyclopedia.”

Get the Wikipedia Hole mug.The Wikipedian Loop occurs when the use of Wikipedia to research a particular subject leads to an infinite loop of addiction.
This addiction is characterised by staring transfixed at Wikipedia pages for hours at a time and usually results in varying levels of frustration and distress at the impossibility of ever successfully reading through all the Wikipedia pages currently open without the urge to open even more to linked subjects and thus continue the Loop.
At its climax an infinite number of screens may be open (allowing for your computers capabilities).
