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?

Chris Mooney writing about CP? That's like the biggest feeding of the Ken

ever.

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...

Another simple one...
