WikiWarMonitor is a website dedicated to resolving Misplaced Pages edit wars. It is operated by a group of researchers from Oxford Internet Institute, Rutgers University, and Central European University.

WikiWarMonitor is part of a project called ICTeCollective (which stands for Harnessing ICT-enabled Collective Social Behaviour) and is supported by the European Commission, CORDIS FP7 (Seventh Framework Programme), information and communications technology (or ICT), and Future and Emerging Technologies Open Scheme (FET-Open).

According to CORDIS, the objective of ICT research under the EU's Seventh Framework Programme (which ICTeCollective and WikiWarMonitor are part of) is "to improve the competitiveness of European industry – as well as to enable Europe to master and shape the future developments of these technologies so that the demands of its society and economy are met."

Findings

WikiWarMonitor publishes a list of the 100 most controversial Misplaced Pages articles in 13 different languages using a special algorithm. One of their findings was that the editorial conflicts vary by language and are endless when it comes to polarizing terms such as 'homosexuality', or individuals such as former U.S. President George W. Bush.
