A visualization of people who’ve contributed to the Barack Obama page on Wikipedia. Created by Jamie Wilkinson using code_swarm and his Wikipedia page history parser Wikiswarm (Ruby), which uses the Wikipedia API to convert page edit histories into the code_swarm activity log format. Jamie also points out that there is experimental support for visualizing individual users’ contributions.
Reminded me of this dark but beautifully interesting time laps video by fitzbuhnwallow which documents the first 12 hours of edits to the VT Massacre Wikipedia article.
