    El desarrollo de métricas para estimar la calidad de información de los artículos de Wikipedia es un área de investigación interesante e importante. En este artículo, se propone una nueva métrica de calidad basada en el “soporte factual externo” de un artículo y se analiza su viabilidad. Los motivos que dan sustento a esta métrica son identificados, se presenta una definición formal de la misma y también se dan detalles de su implementación. Los resultados preliminares obtenidos, muestran la viabilidad de nuestra propuesta y su potencial para discriminar entre artículos de alta y baja calidad en Wikipedia.

    Developing metrics to estimate the information quality of Wikipedia articles is an interesting and important research area. In this article, we propose and analyse the feasibility, of a new quality metric based on the “external factual support” of an article. The rationale behind this metric is identified, a formal definition of the metric is presented and some implementation aspects are introduced. Preliminary results show the feasibility of our proposal and its potential to discriminate high quality versus low quality Wikipedia’s articles.
