Revision activity after February 24, 2022

80 articles measured against their own 36-month baselines · computed Oct 19, 2026 · activity-v1

  • 0 very high
  • 0 high
  • 5 elevated
  • 70 typical
  • 5 unscored

Articles about Ukraine, Russia, their shared history, and the people and institutions of the war, measured from the day of the full-scale invasion.

Activity is not proof of bias or misconduct. A sustained rise in edit activity can mean new sources, cleanup, disputes, or plain attention; this page shows the measurements, and the conclusion stays yours.

How to read this

  • Bands are relative to each article’s own past. Every score compares an article’s post-event editing with its own 36-month pre-event baseline. Articles are not ranked against each other; inside a band they are listed alphabetically.
  • Typical is a result. Most articles about most events keep changing at their usual pace. A typical band is the method working, not an absence of data.
  • High is not wrongdoing. The score measures how unusual the pace of editing is, not why it changed. Each row links to the full report with the exact before/after text and the official revision history.
  • Two gates. An article with fewer than 12 months or 20 edits of pre-event history, or one created after the event, is shown as unscored rather than given a low number.
  • Controls. 8 unrelated, long-stable articles are measured the same way and tagged control. They should land typical; where they do not, that is information about the method, not about them.
