Looks like wikirage is "on sabbatical" [http://www.wikirage.com/]. Anyone know of an alternative way of (easily) finding the most popularly edited and viewed articles on Wikipedia?
Thanks in advance :)
Best, Heather.

Hi Heather,
Anyone know of an alternative way of (easily) finding the most popularly edited and viewed articles on Wikipedia?
While there may be already existing tools out there to get you the data, if you are not afraid of a small amount of code, for the "edited" part, you could hook up a simple Web application to the recent changes Server-Sent Event stream API that I make available at http://wikipedia-edits.herokuapp.com/sse. A sample application that uses it can be seen at http://wikipedia-edits.herokuapp.com/. In the application, you listen on edit events of your target language (or globally all languages) and just store each article as an object key and count up when new edits happen:
{ "en:Albert_Einstein": 123, "en:Kurt_Gödel": 456, … };
Hope this helps. If not, happy to help you out with a scaffold application.
Cheers, Tom
I love the app, Tom! Looks great :) I'm afraid my coding abilities are really rusty and I'm on deadline for a journal article for this so would really appreciate your help! Will contact you offlist and we can share back the results here.
Many, many thanks.
Best, Heather.

Hi Heather,
Are you interested in historical information about heavily edited topics or what’s happening right now? Both or neither?
