Abstract

This paper explores the character of “mutual aid” and interdependent decision making within the Wikipedia. I provide a brief introduction to Wikipedia, the key terms associated with group decision making, and the Wikipedia dispute resolution process. I then focus on the cultural norms within Wikipedia that frame participation as a cooperative endeavor. I conclude by identifying some notions from negotiation literature that may be inappropriate or require adaptation to the Wikipedia case. [1]
