dropped slightly, from a peak of 67% in 2005 to 56% in 2010. The overall rate of reciprocation
has dropped dramatically, since none of the major bots are programmed to reciprocate BRD
initiations." //reciprocation = answer to posts on their talk pages initiated by reverted editors
"Figure 6 suggests that a large number of newcomers (2,250 BRD initializations from
918 unique registered editors) are attempting to enter into dialog with an algorithmic editor after
being reverted by them" //people not aware they are trying to talk to a bot?

"informal norms documented in essays are trumped by
formal norms embedded in bots and human computation tools."
"Wikipedia has changed from “the encyclopedia that anyone can edit” to “the encyclopedia that
anyone who understands the norms, socializes him or herself, dodges the impersonal wall of
semi-automated rejection and still wants to voluntarily contribute his or her time and energy can
edit”"
