[19:29:39] hey does anyone here -- maybe StevenW, ragesoss, mindspillage -- know/remember the editor named I think David, from Philadelphia. Older guy, maybe an engineer, who was at Wikimania DC and has gone to some of the NY events? [19:29:44] I am looking for his userpage. [19:29:54] Dgg [19:29:55] ? [19:30:04] not an engineer, DGG [19:30:07] hm, maybe [19:30:20] Not the librarian, David Goodman. Is that DGG? [19:30:22] Do you mean the guy in the editor videos Sue? [19:30:25] Yes [19:30:38] yeah I think Victor interviewed him. I met him with Cary and James Alexander at a NY meetup. [19:30:46] yeah, DGG = David Goodman [19:30:53] I think he's in his seventies. Married to a younger woman whose Asian, who he brought to the meetup. [19:31:04] His name might not be David. It's something like David though. [19:31:12] *who's [19:31:14] yikes [19:31:25] Victor knows exactly who the guy is. [19:31:35] I don't remember his name or username, but he will. [19:31:39] I will ping Victor -- thanks :-) [19:31:44] np [19:43:52] This is the guy I was talking about FYI -- David Thomsen. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0b/David_Thomsen-274.jpg [19:44:32] (I am looking for him because I'm writing a quick piece for the LA Times about Wikipedians, for our anniversary. If anyone knows an older Wikipedian than David, who I'm likely to have met, please tell me :-)) [19:45:03] He is 73 :-) [19:45:22] * Ironholds headscratches [19:45:30] do we include those who are old in spirit? [19:45:45] if so I've got around 60,000 names for you to pick from [19:50:06] :-) [19:50:36] Hey is there anywhere I can find a list of the most-edited or most-edit-warred articles? I am looking for the serious stuff, like Israel-Palestine and George Bush, not the funny stuff. [19:51:17] (There is an info-graphic made by Grouplens in one of the third-floor boardrooms, which has e.g. God and Britney Spears, but it's a few years old.) [20:02:01] sgardner: that should be easy. give me a second. [20:02:22] I found this, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_controversial_issues, which is pretty good. [20:02:54] (Although it is not based on data such as number of edits, I think. The Grouplens thing was data-based.) [20:03:18] sgardner: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_reports/Pages_with_the_most_revisions is cumulative edits, if that helps? [20:04:25] ah yeah, that's good. There's George Bush, which leads me to believe it may be the same data source as the Grouplens thing, from which they likely pulled out stuff like admin noticeboard. Thanks Ironholds :-) [20:05:11] And there's Britney Spears! So yes, this is the right page :-) [20:05:27] * Ironholds salutes [20:05:31] want most-read as well? [20:06:21] sure :-) [20:13:14] sgardner: http://stats.grok.se/en/top [20:13:30] ah thank you :-) [21:42:27] Ironholds: those are two years old though :) [21:46:56] Nemo_bis: huh? [21:47:33] Ironholds: http://stats.grok.se/en/top [21:47:40] oh balls. [21:48:53] Ironholds: if you want to have updated data, nag people about http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/analytics/2012-December/000276.html I guess [21:49:45] it was already asked at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Henrik#Top_statistic_for_2011_and_2012 too among others [21:50:48] *nods*
