Hi Denny, just read http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2011… earlier today, which states "Women are more likely to be reverted when they have very few edits (7% vs 5%); however, in accounts with more than eight edits, the effect disappears."

Hello, does anyone have a rough estimate of how many edits get reverted? Does anyone have a study handy? Cheers, Denny _______________________________________________ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l

I can recommend searching "reverts wikipedia" on the google scholar: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=reverts+wikipedia If you want to try running some analysis on the dump yourself, there's reverts analysis python code available here: http://code.google.com/p/pymwdat/ -- Best, Dmitry On Mon, Aug 15, 2011 at 6:18 PM, Tilman Bayer <tbayer(a)wikimedia.org> wrote:

I think Ed Chi's group at PARC did some the earliest studies about revert rates: http://asc-parc.blogspot.com/2009/08/part-2-more-details-of-changing-editor… "Monthly ratio of reverted edits by editor class" http://asc-parc.blogspot.com/2009/07/part-1-slowing-growth-of-wikipedia-som… http://www.parc.com/content/attachments/singularity-is-not-near.pdf On Tue, Aug 16, 2011 at 1:53 AM, Denny Vrandecic <vrandecic(a)googlemail.com> wrote:
