[Xmldatadumps-admin-l] FYI: comparison between enwiki-20100130-pages-meta-history.xml.7z and enwiki-20100312-pages-meta-history.xml.7z

Tue May 18 06:22:07 UTC 2010

I've tried filtering and plotting empty text revisions using the following
criteria: comment starts on '/*'  (section edits) AND not an IP edit;
The idea is that generally section edits do not result in the deletion of
the complete article text and registered users tend to vandalize less.
Consequently we can somewhat see what revisions text were missed due to
backup.

Resulting plots are attached for both [enwiki-20100130 31.9 GB] and
[enwiki-20100312 15.8 GB] files.

If anybody is interested in the raw filtered data here's a link to the
zipped .csv(s):
http://76.126.237.67/tmp/missing.revisions.enwiki-20100xx.7z
The .csv files have the following format: 'pageid, revisionid, unixtime,
pagetitle'.

-- Cheers, Dmitry
