Nice data, but I think your legend shouldn’t be discrete when your data is continuous.

Reply to comment by HaAnotherLlama in List of U.S. states and territories by violent crime rate by ezbnsteve
DC stats are bad, but its also that it's a territory that is literally just a city. It's naturally going to have skewed results compared to entire states.

It's still really easy to edit Wikipedia, if you're actually being productive. If you just want to add "HAHA JOHNNY HAS A SMALL DICK" to an article, then yes, it's more difficult nowadays.

The use of color isn't clear and I don't see any sort of legend to clarify it. Also, I'd point out as others have, there is no way to tell the number of hours worked by county and sex.

Is there an app or software that I can use to track data like this?

I think your logic is off. If there was a direct correlation that would mean that Wikipedia shrinks during the second half of the year and shrank overall between ‘07 and ‘10

Not if you believe that your point of view is the only correct one.

It doesn’t even show that it increased in size over time. The metric shown is the number of edits, not the number of new pages.

This is the right stat for how many edits there are Wikipedia per day, which is a perfectly fine thing to show.

If I had to fancy a guess, I would say 2007-2008 looks like it does due to Facebook and students. Some may remember that FB was initially restricted to college students with a student e-mail address from select colleges. Around 2007, FB started allowing anybody with a public email address join; the early adopters were mostly students at other colleges who previously did not have ‘TheFacebook’ for their college. There were a significant number of new HS users at this time as well.
February to May is Spring Semester, and at US schools this is often when the ‘Big,’ important final research papers are due.
My guess is that the rising popularity of FB (along with other social media/tech of the time) was related to the rising popularity of Wikipedia among an age cohort that was disproportionately sensitive to Wikipedia ‘sources,’ and thus more interested in adding/editing information on Wikipedia pages.
My guess is that this trend dies off quickly as the amount of awareness about Wikipedia and the potential for ‘bad actors’ to post untrue information becomes more widely known, and the educational institutions reject Wikipedia as a valid primary source.
Let it be known that I have nothing to back any of this up; I just came up with a guess while pooping.

i'm not a swifty and probably just listening for different reasons! really thought she captured a lot of more popular music trends on this from radio, film, tv, etc., but all while still being herself. might not actually be her best album but its like she's just having fun with her craft and stepping to the industry

I didn't. Why aren't you fighting that? Also what is going to change if you will still pay the same tax next year? Is it actually hurting you?

I can agree with that. In the past 10 years, there have been numerous companies that were made to scam people out of their payments, acting as a middle man and never paying the balance. It was corrected but people didn't get their money back and the interest was still climbing for them. Those people are super SOL. At least taking the interest rate out and taking away the interest accrued would provide SO MUCH HELP to those people and others.

Why is this guy getting down voted. Tuition and cost of living have both gone up every year. Rent went up and loans will still be there regardless of if you have to stop your job for 6 months because of the pandemic.
If anyone is mad for paying for others to live with less stress, there were WAY less people impacted and more money distributed for corporate bailouts and tax exemptions in State and Federal in the past 10 years.
