I have been talking with Chris Mooney about CP and he is including a bit of information about them in his new book. He is particularly interested in the defence mentality of conservatives and is interested in the blocking of users at CP. I told him I would send him links to some of the graphs you have made. Was curious what you would recommend? I was thinking anything highlighting the number of edits an account gets before being banned, and maybe some of the geographical maps of range blocks at their peak?
Interesting question: amusingly, for an outsider the most pictures are meaningless - they don't have points of reference :-) So, best suited are those comparing the actions at CP with "real world" data, i.e., wikipedia... Perhaps Chris Mooney is willing to look at Conservapedia:An illustrated guide? A pic like File:DiEb-GeoIP-Circles-Conservapedia.png could be updated...
Or have a look at File:Del-rev-4.png: deleted revisions. IMO more meaningful than data on blocking - closed access isn't that untypical for a blog, but the constant hiding and changing of history, that's downright bachmannian...
