Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Free encyclopedia Wikipedia on the Internet contains 490,000 Japanese articles and its volume of information is huge and useful. However, the trustworthiness of the articles’ contents becomes uncertain because anyone can edit them easily. In other words, since we cannot understand exactly who edits the contents, it results in difficulty of measuring trustworthiness of the articles’ contents. To such a problem the method using the edit history is proposed for measuring the trustworthiness of the articles. However, it is inapposite compared with the article and the editor with a little frequency to be edited. Therefore, in this paper, we propose the method for measuring editors’ trustworthiness without depending on the edit frequency. The proposed method is based on the ratio where the edit remains the latest version of contents. Our evaluation shows that our proposed method evaluate the editor with high reliability highly, and the editor with low reliability lowly without depending on the edit frequency.
