Does anyone read Wikipedia around the election time? - We think yes Election season is upon the UK and we have interesting research promoting Wikipedia as a reference (or rather demonstrating that is already a reference) for reading about candidates. Nice imagery as well. https://tahayasseri.wordpress.com/2015/05/03/elections-and-social-media-pre… t: UK Tories dominate @Wikipedia, beating #Labour, #UKIP http://elections.oii.ox.ac.uk/does-anyone-read-wikipedia-around-the-electio… t: Why are there so many more @Wikipedia articles on the #Tories than every other UK political party? http://elections.oii.ox.ac.uk/does-anyone-read-wikipedia-around-the-electio… t: Appears the #Tories have already won, at least in representation on @Wikipedia, shows #dataviz @TahaYasseri http://elections.oii.ox.ac.uk/does-anyone-read-wikipedia-around-the-electio… f/g: Why are there so many more Wikipedia articles on the Tories than every other UK political party? http://elections.oii.ox.ac.uk/does-anyone-read-wikipedia-around-the-electio… f/g: With the United Kingdom general election only days away, which political parties are already winning online?
