And there's the answer. No. Rambot didn't affect the growth of
biographies much at all. There's a spike in early 2002 (can someone
check out what that is?), but the graph of biographies is basically
unaffected by rambot (late 2002, right?).
A non-exponential graph focusing on the months right around the rambot
push would make this more clear. Are the raw numbers available
somewhere?
Image talkpage has the raw data. Lay on, Macduff...
First spike is February 25, 2002. Conversion script.
