Actually not. And that's the main reason why we had to pull down the Leaderboard (tool that shows bytes of data that has been added by a student on Wikipedia) as well. The Leaderboard accounted for all the edits that a student would make either on the talk page or on the article space. Also, if a students work has been reverted on the article, the leaderborad did not account that. Ideally the total amount of data that a student has added should exclude amount of data added on talk pages, should exclude data that is no more existing on wikipedia and has been reverted. All this data is not easily accessible.
Very interesting. I based my opinion on the reading of http://jace.zaiki.in/category/research and a bit of playing around at that point of time.
