Hello,
Hello, My name is Sean Buchanan. I am a professor of Business Administration at
the Asper School of Business at the University of Manitoba.
My colleagues and I are trying to collect a certain type of data from
Wikipedia and would like some advice on the most efficient and user friendly way of collecting this data.
We are looking to collect data on the difference between revisions over

We haven't found a way to do that through the channels on the web page
and were wondering if you have any ideas on how such data could be collected?
We are interested in the revision history for the following pages:
