- Description
- We study the dynamics of hourly user access and edit time series for articles in the online encyclopaedia Wikipedia, also comparing different languages. Daily and weekly activity patterns occur in addition to fluctuations and bursting activity. The bursts are characterised by a power-law distribution of durations of increases and decreases; both sides seem rather uncorrelated. We also study the process of collecting, processing, validating, and distributing information on Wikipedia. We correlate page access statistics, page edit statistics, and article network structure (defined by links) to characterize the lifecycle of relevant pieces of information. Results are also compared regarding regional contexts and different languages.
