Analysing Wikipedia - videos/stats/animations

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEkF5o6KPNI : Why Wikipedians are the Weirdest People on the Internet (YouTube) – a humorous presentation by Wikipedian Steven Walling about the culture of Wikipedia and its editors.
  • http://www.lkozma.net/wpv/index.html Wikipedia Vision – an animated map that highlights live edits from users around the world as they happen, demonstrating the global nature of the project.
  • http://wikistream.inkdroid.org/ wikistream – a visualization showing a stream of edits to the most popular Wikipedia projects.
  • irc://irc.wikimedia.org/en.wikipedia Live feed of all edits – a feed that outputs every new change to English Wikipedia, demonstrating the pace of Wikipedia's evolution: 1–2 edits per second. Requires an IRC client to view.
  • http://stats.grok.se/ Wikipedia article traffic statistics – a tool for charting how many hits any given article gets, great for comparing different kinds of articles at different times, e.g., http://stats.grok.se/en/200903/Genetics Genetics (in the school year) vs. http://stats.grok.se/en/200908/Genetics (in the summer), or http://stats.grok.se/en/200903/Youtube (YouTube with weekend spikes) and http://stats.grok.se/en/200903/Simpsons (Simpsons with spikes when new episodes come out). Students can also use it to see how many people are reading their articles over the course of the class (and beyond).
  • http://www.manypedia.com Manypedia – a tool for comparing a specific Wikipedia page from a language edition Wikipedia (for example, English) with its equivalent page on another language edition Wikipedia (for example, Arabic), exploiting automatic translation and additional statistics about both pages such as number of edits and editors.
  • http://sonetlab.fbk.eu/wikitrip/ WikiTrip – a tool for visualizing the animated evolution in time of two kinds of information about the Wikipedians who edited the selected page: their location in the world and their gender.
