Subject: [Xmldatadumps-l] Collecting data on page revisions over time
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Hello,
Hello,
My name is Sean Buchanan. I am a professor of Business Administration at

the Asper School of Business at the University of Manitoba.

My colleagues and I are trying to collect a certain type of data from

Wikipedia and would like some advice on the most efficient and user
friendly way of collecting this data.

We are looking to collect data on the difference between revisions over

the lifetime of a three Wikipedia pages (see attached screenshot)

We haven't found a way to do that through the channels on the web page

and were wondering if you have any ideas on how such data could be
collected?

1) Capitalism
2) Socialism
3) Communism

Thank you for your help! I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Sean Buchanan
