You may want to take a look at the wpcvn.com - it also displays realtime stream (filtered)...

Re: [Wiki-research-l] wikistream: displays wikipedia updates in realtime
Ed, nice job. Some minor glitches you may want to fix: - there's a typo in the dropdown menu (All Wikpedias) - you should probably set a min-width for the control panel - when I move the slide to values greater than 0 the text is wrapped, no matter how large my browser window is (tested in FF/Safari/Chrome on Mac OS) - there is no legend explaining how the diff size is measured (I know it's trivial, but it would be helpful for people who are not familiar with Wikipedia) - for RTL languages (Arabic, Hebrew) the diff size is displayed incorrectly in Safari (it's appended to the left and, when negative, the minus sign is wrongly positioned) HTH Dario On Jun 21, 2011, at 9:19 PM, Ed Summers wrote: > Thanks for the suggestions all (keep them coming).

Re: [Wiki-research-l] wikistream: displays wikipedia updates in realtime
Thanks for the suggestions all (keep them coming). I added the ability to filter by language, as well by whether the edit was by a logged in user, an anonymous (IP) user, or a bot. I'm not completely happy with the icons I chose so if you know of any better ones please let me know. http://wikistream.inkdroid.org //Ed On Mon, Jun 20, 2011 at 9:57 AM, Ed Summers wrote: > Hi Jodi, > > On Sun, Jun 19, 2011 at 11:14 PM, Jodi Schneider wrote: >> It would be really interesting to have these visualizations for other >> projects (e.g. wikisource, wikiquote, ...). -Jodi > > Yes, absolutely.

An interesting category, but seems occasionally misused (for example, in
(ISC)2 somebody confused superscript with a diacritic). This category,
however, indeed shows redirects from articles without a diacritic to
those with a diacritic ("The pages in this category are redirects to
articles whose titles have diacritical marks.") Thanks for the find!
The one that shows redirects for titles with a diacritic to one without
a diacritic would be
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Redirects_from_titles_with_diacritics
("Category:Redirects from titles with diacritics")
This one has about 6,5k articles.
Thanks for the categories, as imperfect as they are they are nonetheless
quite useful to know about, and clearly show that Wikipedia does use
diacritics much more often than not.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Redirects_from_titles_without_diacritics I think this category is actually a list of redirect, from the diacritic-less spellings to the diacriticed actual articles. There's over 309 K redirects. Not sure though.

[Wiki-research-l] Is use of diacritics common?
I wonder if anybody has studied the use of diacritics on Wikipedia? It is my experience that they are commonly used, but some editors are challenging that (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(use_English)&diff=next&oldid=435539278). I wonder if we have any data on that, or if somebody could create and run some form of query on the database (as I don't code, this is unfortunately beyond my capabilities). -- Piotr Konieczny PhD Candidate Dept of Sociology Uni of Pittsburgh http://pittsburgh.academia.edu/PiotrKonieczny/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Piotrus ___ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
