Pics of the day - Feb 20, 2011: Apples and Oranges - Account Creation and Blocks
When looking at the logs of Conservapedia, one recognizes a striking dependence between the number of accounts created on a given day and the numbers of entries in the block log. | |
Indeed, one could say: an account created is an account blocked: there are ~35,100 accounts and ~34,500 entries in the block log (blocks/unblocks/reblocks). | |
On RationalWiki, fun blocks dominate the logs... | |
... such that a correlation is less obvious between the ~5,300 accounts and the ~24,000 (un)blocks. | |
On wikipedia, the number of new accounts dwarfs the number of blocks: | |
~13,500,000 account creations are registered since 2005, but only ~1,400,000 block events. Perhaps Conservapedia does something wrong? |
Thanks - and it's nice to see that someone actually enjoys this stuff :-)
I love your analyses larron. Do you do this kind of wiki-traffic analysis professionally, or is this just a little geeky skill you have? It's so professionally done, and your focus on useful stats is spot-on.
