Thanks for sharing, and many thanks to Tilman Bayer for assembling this summary.
I'm really intrigued by this study about differences in sentiment and language, especially because work on moral foundations theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_foundations_theory in political science has found that different political groups in the US are associated with different approaches to care/harm, fairness/cheating, loyalty/betrayal, authority/subversion, sanctity/degradation, and liberty/oppression.
A hypothesis: it's possible that these differences, if they exist, are the result of choices by conservatives and liberals in what they choose to do and how they frame their own work. For example, a politician that built their campaigns around outrage and anger might be expected to have more negative material on their Wikipedia page, while someone who built their career around constructive visions of society might have quite different language on their page.
All the best,
