Hi -
I am interested in looking at how evolution of articles in the English Wikipedia in terms of length and article rating (within WikiProjects) is affected by participation from anonymous and registered contributors. Does anyone have an earlier dataset - the article length and rating I have is from May 2010. Data from late 2008-early 2009, one or two datapoints/ timeslices would be greatly appreciated.
Andrea,
Couldn't this be easily computed from the full dump with history, though you'd have to parse it which is obviously rather time-consuming.
I know our team has lots of tools for parsing dumps and making them easier to work with. Send me a direct e-mail if you want to be put in touch.
