For additional context regarding Nathan Schneider, some excerpts from a Wikipedia-related research publication of his (I understand he may also have done some more recent work that might be of specific interest to Wikimedians): https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Newsletter/2021/February#Wikipedia's_%22sophisticated_democracy%22_resists_the_%22implicit_feudalism%22_of_online_communities
(e.g. "The feudal pattern has by and large been written into the default behaviors of online-community platforms. Exceptions like Wikipedia and Debian have required considerable, intentional effort to counteract the implicit feudalism of their tools’ defaults.")
