User talk:Jtl/Conservapedia:User Statistics

Makes you wonder is all those vandals were really vandals and not just a couple of sysops making bad edits to drive up the numbers.Prof0705 07:20, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

I'm having trouble understanding the table, but if you get rid of the ridiculously low editing group, do these stats contradict the current credo "Fact about Conservapedia: no one is responsible for more than 5% of the edits here...."? Sterile 17:00, 30 May 2007 (CDT)
 * I was afraid it would be hard to understand...I'm reasonably good at data analysis, but not so good at presentation.
 * No, it doesn't contradict the actual claimed statistic: Aschlafly has the most total edits, 8288, 4.862%; with the definition of 'mainspace' used here, he also has the most mainspace edits, 4387, 4.713%. I think it does contradict the semi-implication that went along with that (I don't have the cite handy, can get it tonight) that CP differs from WP in that WP has most edits by a small group of users.
 * I'll be posting a list tonight of the top editors, the longest-active editors and (if it's different from the former) the earlies-active editors.
 * Of course, all this assumes that "# of edits" is a reasonable measure. I'm not convinced it is, it's just the closest that's easy to measure.  It measures each edit equally, whether it's writing a whole new article, vandalism, reverting vandalism, etc. --jtl talk 17:27, 30 May 2007 (CDT)
