I talked about something like this with Liam that GLAM was
trying to develop and utilize to inform it's work.
Liam - sorry to call you out like this, but any thoughts
on Phoebe's question?

Hi all,
Has there been any research done into: the number of
citations (e.g.
to books, journal articles, online sources, everything
together) on
Wikipedia (any language, or all)? The distribution of
citations over
different kinds or qualities of articles? # of uses of
citation
templates? Anything like this?
I realize this is hard to count, averages are
meaningless in this
context, and any number will no doubt be imprecise! But
anything would
be helpful. I have vague memories of seeing some
citation studies like
this but don't remember the details.
Thanks,
