When was protection added to the article during the analyzed period? Remember 14:31, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
I like the idea of this sort of analysis.
However you are missing data for Non-IP editors in many of the periods where the article was semi-protected. We need this data to see what the effect of semi-protection is.
eg jan 22 - 31 and Jan 14- 21 it would be nice to have the non-ip editor data. Ttguy 11:34, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Were there any? Tempshill ( talk) 22:20, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps it is a little late to bring this up, but the scope of the study seems to be too narrow. Rather just analysing if ANON edits helped or hurt the article, the study should have included the damage that IP vandalism caused Wikipedia in the form of editor and admin wasted time and frustration. Otherwise, a true cost and benefit analysis of ANON edits can not be done. If a quality Wikipedian's time is wasted it means Wikipedia will have missed out on some of his benefital edits.
