We use weighted modularity Qw to evaluate the partitions and weighted extremal optimization algorithm to detect communities. Starting from empirical and idealized weighted networks, the matching between weights and edges are disturbed. Then using similarity function S to measure the difference between community structures, it is found that the redistribution of weights does strongly affect the community structure especially in dense networks. This indicates that the community structure in networks is a suitable property to reflect the role of weight.
