One very interesting Citizendium statistic is the median article
length in words. It has been reducing by about 6 words a month for
years. I think that means most of the new articles being created are
stubs, or not much more than stubs, and nobody is working on expanding
existing articles. I feign no hypotheses for why this might be. I
don't have comparable statistics for Wikipedia, so for all I know we
are doing the same thing (although that seems unlikely now that
article creation has reduced).
At Eric Zachte's stats page there are a number of relevant stats measured.
The stats are up-to-date! When did that happen? They were still only
up to 2006 for many last time I looked. I know we finally got a full
dump, but I didn't know it had been run through the stats analyser
thing. Now I have to spend hours looking at all the statistics! :)
