Re: [Wiki-research-l] Data on the lifespan of Wikipedia articles

See some content-persistence based survival analysis on the bottom of this
report https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Measuring_edit_productivity
 I'm still working on some other bits of a larger project(
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Measuring_value-added) before I
get back to this measurment strategy.  I'm happy to share my datasets with
you :)

Oh!  See also

-- a qualitative analysis of how content persistence relates to quality.

Thank you for the inquiry to clarify "lifespan". Perhaps there is a better
term that describes Wikipedia article survival. For example, if a stub is
not expanded, it can remain a stub, indefinitely. Yes? Aaron sent over
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Content_persistence, which has
been very helpful so far. With that being said, "content that persists"
might be a better phrase to describe my interest to determine the length of
time a Wikipedia article's content "persists".


Sincere regards,

I guess I'm having difficulty with language.  To me, "lifespan" implies a
birth and death.  The overwhelming number of Wikipedia articles that
survive the review process continue on. So how do you measure a lifespan of
articles that are still living?  Perhaps you can explain a little bit more.
