You'd need to run a query on a full dump with version history. Doing that
would give you actual stats on usage; using live data only obscures
anything that has been reverted or overwritten... which in the case of this
word probably results in the loss of the majority of incidents.

This research excludes any incidence of the word "cunt" that appears in
revisions other than those that are currently live, right? Since it relies
exclusively on the search engine, which only returns live results? Doesn't
that seem like a substantial weakness, and one that undercuts any year to
year frequency analysis?
Also, can you confirm if I'm understanding this correctly - the use of the
word in a discussion about whether it is a gendered insult or not, or in a
discussion admonishing a user to stop using it as an insult, counts each
use (regardless of intent) as an additional incident of gendered insult?

Hey,
I posted some new research to meta at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Communicating_on_Wikipedia_while_f…
. It is titled: Communicating on Wikipedia while female A discursive
analysis of the use of the word cunt on English Wikipedia user talk pages.
Thought it might be of some interest to people on this list.
Sincerely,
Laura Hale
