I've kind of taken a break from this. I'll get back to it later. Probably.

Statistics

So I can't vouch for the accuracy of any of these numbers, but the percentages and word counts are probably very roughly correct. I've used 'contribution' and 'edit' interchangeably, neither of which necessarily indicate page creation. I'm not yet sure how to go about searching for the number of new pages each contributor is responsible for creating.

Let me know if anyone thinks of another large contributor. These are just a few names I saw often while scrolling through the xml files.

(?): I've gotten this number from ctrl-f searching the xml files. Because of the way large xml files display (in Notepad ++ at least) this is likely close to double the number of actual contributions (the reason it's odd is because the doubling doesn't happen consistently. Very small files have no doubling, where very large files do). This doubling won't affect percentages as much though, so those are probably close to accurate. Additionally, this number doesn't include contributions from IPs, though the IP contributions are negligible (probably just over 1% of all edits).

(*): I have the same issues here. I don't know why I keep seeing doubled up contributions inconsistently (Platypus, Yihman, and Teejay somehow have odd numbers of contributions despite the doubling). Again, percentages are probably more accurate than the numbers.

As I back up other stories I'll add more 'statistics.'

Chat Thing

editthischat.chatango.com/

This was Completionist's idea. An anonymous chatroom accessed through the link. It's faster than writing back and forth on talk pages I suppose, but nobody has used it (Durzan left a message before, more than a year ago, but seems like he's it). Thought I might link it here anyway.
