Visualising the 100 Most Viewed Pages on Wikipedia
This is an article that compares the monthly lists of the 100 most visited Wikipedia pages for the period of September 2006 to January 2007.
A software package called searchCrystal is used to visualize the overlap between the five monthly Top 100 lists to show which pages are highly visited in all five months; which pages in four of the five months and so on. Almost 40 percent of a month’s top 100 pages are visited in all five months, with 25 percent highly visited only in a single month.
I’m into visualsations- part of me is fascinated by the way extra insights can be gained just by viewing figures in different ways. This shows the data in three different ways- you may find the writing a little “dusty” that’s academics for you! But the three graphics are interesting.
