Thanks again for the info. Yes, this is basically correct. I am looking to
collect this info based on 100 articles from the Wikipedia science series.
If the data proves relatively easy to collect, I like to collect data on all
articles in the science series which is around 200 articles. Top
contributors for me are those with 10 or more edits in the sampled article
from the science series. For the sake of clarity, here is a short sample of
the data I'm looking for.
