Here are some things I'd like to know! Not all of them are really visualizations. If you have answers, please let me know! I'd be thrilled.
- you know when bands have timelines of each of their members? there should be a timeline of ALL the members of ALL the bands
- we should download the text of all the edit summaries of all time and see what the most common ones are
- lots of potential visualization opportunities (maps!) for Wikipedians by alma mater: United States
- Is there a way to determine who has received the most barnstars of all time? Or thanks?
- I want to make a collection of biography articles with ridiculous parentheticals... Like, John Doe (20th century steeplechase journalist) or Karen Jones (Belarusian pogo stick champion) etc etc
- Which topics have the longest talk pages? (could measure in words or could just measure in number of archives). Which articles have the greatest talk page length to pageviews ratio, ie the most controversial but unpopular articles? Talk:Bible has 20 archives, Taylor Swift has 13, Oldest People has 18, George Bush has 61, Jesus has 136
- Inspired by confectionary having a disambiguation hathote for a racehorse called Sweetmeat, I would love a list of all the articles with disambig hatnotes for horses
- What percent of Wikipedia admins have userboxes on their userpages?
- Group Wikipedia admins by disclosed alma mater
- Identify the userboxes that are most popular among admins (maybe a ranked list of userboxes?)
- Ranked list of admins by how many userboxes they have
- Comparing pageviews of, say, Garfield the US president vs Garfield the cat . How about
- you know the timelines in articles about bands? (example of Queen's)? There should be a mega-timeline that combines all the timelines on all the articles! it would be huge!
- What words are most commonly used by vandals? If we looked at all edits (in which words were added) from a certain time frame that were reverted, what would the most common word additions be? poop?
- Which article has the largest gallery section?
- is there a page with overall stats for WP:New_pages_patrol? the % of articles get marked for speedy deletion vs the % that get approved?
- which language wp has the longest titles?
- which articles have changed names the most times?
