David W. McDonald

I'm a faculty member at the University of Washington (UW) in the College of Engineering, Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering. I've been at UW since January 2002; over 20 years now. My research generally falls in the area of Social Computing. Although more recently I have been doing more Human-Centered AI research. I generally publish in conferences related to Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) and Computer-Human Interaction (HCI). You can find more information about me on my external home page (which is now woefully out of date).

My Wikiwork

I don't edit all that much - made a few anonymous contributions to various pages. I've edited a few places adding or fixing small things when I see something wrong. Some of my wikiwork is around the study of Wikipedia and hopefully doing something good for the community. One of my papers from 2007 is featured as part of the article on Academic studies about Wikipedia. I have other papers related to Wikipedia.

A more recent paper considered how Editors collaborate between Commons and Wikipedia to create articles. One goal for the study was to understand how hard it is to navigate between these two WMF platforms to create quality articles. The paper was covered in an August 2023 Research newsletter "Unpacking_Stitching_between_Wikipedia_and_Wikimedia_Commons:_Barriers_to_Cross-Platform_Collaboration"
