So, how does that differ from a member of the "public" editing by correcting an article or musing in the talk page?
Action research anyone?
I read Action research is
1. Data Collection 2. Evaluation 3. Action 4. ...
So what data do you need?
# edits per article (for which articles) # edits on it's discussion page (dito) # distinct authors per article # distinct authors per discussion page # percentage of anonymous edits ...?
Unfourtunately the history export is disabled but I can get the data out of the XML dump und the database.
