چکیده

? This article aims to analyse the importance of the Wikipedia articles in different languages (English, French, Russian, Polish) and the impact of the importance on the quality of articles. Based on the analysis of literature and our own experience we collected measures related to articles, specifying various aspects of quality that will be used to build the models of articles importance. For each language version, the influential parameters are selected that may allow automatic assessment of the validity of the article. Links between articles in different languages offer opportunities in terms of comparison and verification of the quality of information provided by various Wikipedia communities. Therefore, the model can be used not only for a relative assessment of the content of the whole article, but also for a relative assessment of the quality of data contained in their structural parts, the so-called infoboxes.
