Wikipedia is an information geography made up of millions of geotagged articles, which augment places with digital layers. These layers shape how people understand, move through, and interact with the world. As such, it is crucial to interrogate how places are augmented with digital layers and by whom. This article builds on the digital geography literature with a novel methodology that can be used to understand the digital representations of cities on Wikipedia, their provenance, as well as the scope and scale of “edit wars” that have shaped such layers. This methodology is demonstrated through a case study on Berlin, Germany. Cartographic analysis of about 8,000 geotagged articles reveals that these articles cluster in the city center, whereas outer districts are largely unrepresented on Wikipedia. Ten articles have had “edit wars” and nine of these are about contentious historical periods. Cartographic analysis of the locations of the editors of these articles reveals that the edit wars were mostly waged outside of Germany, raising questions about whose voices prevail in the digital representation of local places. The article concludes with a discussion of the results and directions for future work on the development of the methodology and the analysis of further cities.

编辑有争议的数字城市中的战争：映射维基百科对柏林的不均匀扩展

维基百科是一个由数百万条带有地理标签的文章组成的信息地理学，这些文章通过数字层增强了地点。这些层次塑造了人们理解、穿越和与世界互动的方式。因此，询问如何使用数字层以及由谁来增强场所至关重要。本文以数字地理文献为基础，采用一种新颖的方法论，可用于理解维基百科上城市的数字表示、它们的出处，以及塑造这些层次的“编辑战争”的范围和规模。这种方法是通过在德国柏林的案例研究来证明的。对大约 8,000 篇地理标记文章的制图分析表明，这些文章集中在市中心，而外围地区在维基百科上基本上没有代表性。十篇文章有“编辑战”，其中九篇是关于有争议的历史时期。对这些文章编辑地点的制图分析表明，编辑战主要发生在德国以外的地方，这引发了一个问题，即谁的声音在当地地点的数字表示中占主导地位。文章最后讨论了该方法的发展和进一步城市分析的结果和未来工作的方向。
