Chapter 9. To each their own truth
-
Guillaume Carbou
Abstract
This chapter presents five we defined for characterizing the conception of “truth” that underpin amongst Wikipedian editors on talk pages. The chapter starts by defining each epistemic regime and how it could be understood according to the Wikipedia rules. Then, we propose a method to evaluate the operationality of these regimes from a corpus standpoint and to analyse to what extent these regimes are adopted by Wikipedians. The analysis of the of 324 posts extracted from the French WikiDemoCorpus largely supports our epistemic model and provides new insights into the ideological backgrounds of Wikipedians.
