Hello.
I think there was a research paper (from the MIT?), some months/years ago, that analysed how a specific article on Wikipedia was modified, showing the slow modifications over time and a few big changes.
Anyone would have an URL pointing to that article?

This was the " history flow" study, and can be seen at http://researchweb.watson.ibm.com/history/
Other studies are listed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_in_academic_studies and http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Wikipedia-Forschung/Bibliographie

Has there been contact with IBM about the possibility to use their work? For example, I think it would be interesting to create these diagrams for a large number of Wikipedia pages, and make those available.

I emailed Martin Wattenberg about using an image in their paper and did not receive a response.
