  abstract  = {In this work we investigate how role-based behavior profiles of a Wikipedia
	editor, considered against the backdrop of roles taken up by other editors in
	discussions, predict the success of the editor at achieving an impact on the
	associated article.
	We first contribute a new public dataset including a task predicting the
	success of Wikipedia editors involved in discussion, measured by an
	operationalization of the lasting impact of their edits in the article.
	We then propose a probabilistic graphical model that advances earlier work
	inducing latent discussion roles using the light supervision of success in the
	negotiation task.
	We evaluate the performance of the model and interpret findings of roles and
	group configurations that lead to certain outcomes on Wikipedia.},
