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.
