However, %We find that Wikipedia articles about taboo topics are popular and high quality relative to other articles, despite receiving high levels of damaging contributions. Although we hypothesize that stigma will cause contributors to taboo subjects to seek to be less identifiable, and although our results are consistent with this proposal across several different measures, we surprisingly find that contributors make themselves more identifiable by specifying their gender. % Our further analysis will explore if and how anonymity plays a role in the successful production of valuable taboo knowledge. %\bigskip %\end{block} %\end{textblock} %\begin{textblock}{4}(0,2.0) %\begin{block}{\rule[-.5ex]{0pt}{2.2ex}\textbf{Hypotheses}} %\vspace{0.3em} \vspace{1em} \begin{figure} \centering \includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{figures/taboo topics hypotheses.jpg} \end{figure} \end{block} \end{textblock} \begin{textblock}{4}(0,6.8) \begin{block}{\rule[-.5ex]{0pt}{2.2ex}\textbf{Setting: \textit{Wikipedia} and \textit{Wiktionary}}} \vspace{0.3em} With billions of viewers, Wikipedia is one of the top ten most visited sites on the Internet.
