Two Layers of Network
(1) The articles network.
Every article in the Wikipedia contains references to other articles as well as external references. A set of links used for classification purposes is also available in most of the active articles of the encyclopedia. Every article represents a vertex in the article network and the internal connections between the article edges of the network.
(2) The contributors network.
Wikipedia is a collaborative writing effort, which means that an article has multiple contributors. We assume that a contributor establishes a relationship with another contributor if they work on the same article. In the resultant signed network, a vertex represents each contributor, and their social ties (positive or negative) are represented by an edge denoting the sequence of their social interaction.
