New stats
Fascinating new statistics from Aleksander Stos, posted on Citizendium-L.
Mainspace text pages = 2071 -> 2616
Number of redirects = 1173 -> 1504
Disambig pages = 22 -> 30
Articles (=textpages-disambig) = 2049 -> 2586
—-
CZ_Live = 1387 -> 1757
Checklisted_Articles = 1238 -> 1900
Internal_Articles = 876 -> 1398
External_Articles = 361 -> 503
Stub_Articles = 223 -> 305
Developing_Articles = 383 -> 624
Developed_Articles = 262 -> 457
Approved_Articles = 11 -> 17
Much more follows. The bottom line is:
That said, I do not think that making CZ-WP comparison in terms of quantity is very relevant at least at the present stage. Clearly, CZ encourages different working style and priorities that do not easily translate into stats or make “counters” turn more slowly (e.g. accent on quality/reliability, narrative/introductory style, not creating stubs without clear intent to develop them etc.). I guess CZ will always be different. Now, I made a quantitative comparison just to test the hypothesis (or not-so-rare suggestion) that CZ is likely to ‘ re-create the failure of Nupedia’. Clearly, the numbers tell us that CZ will (probably) succeed.
Obviously, as I said in an essay not long ago, I agree. (And note the comparison between the stats in that essay, less than two months ago, and now.) Thanks very much to Alex.
