Done - I sent invites to the whole group to my google spreadsheet; the 'old pages' sheet should do the trick. tnx Ed On Sat, Apr 24, 2010 at 6:20 PM, Murph...
I've shared a document with you: short page report http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AiDMisni9_F_dDhfSVhwMkdsa00xa3VRN0d5blFDQlE&hl=en&invite=CIWE7JoG ...
So, Ed, can you make us a scatterplot of age vs. size of pages, with each point clickable to go to the page? That way we can go after the outliers most...
Looks like I and others have been doing a number (tee) on some of these short pages, and we're at an interesting benchmark - essentially, all of Ed's size...
Hey Brad, That's some of my favorite code! I'm not a programmer by nature so I was happy when I got it to work (mostly, I think there are still some issues ...

Here's the corresponding edit count graph http://arborwiki.org/city/File:Edit-count-April-2010.png which also has the top 100 trimmed not to skew things; ...

George - Increase the n is always a good goal; more articles, more better. But if you pursue that goal too vigorously, you get a bunch of articles that have ...
At the last CantonWiki meetup, one of the things addressed was "what are our goals?" Goal #1 was, predictably, "have some goals." The rest were along the lines...
... It would seem to me that the problem is not a plethora of short pages but a dearth of willing (and suitably obsessed) hands to enlarge them. After all,...
