Introduction

I was recently contracted by my friend, Morgan Currie, in the new media masters program at the University of Amsterdam, to construct visualizations of Wikipedia editing activity across the articles pertaining to Feminism, a topic subject to intense debate and occasional vandalism. Her aim was to analyze Wikipedia’s validity as a source in scholarly research. Her results may be found in this PDF.
