Revision activity after October 7, 2023

79 articles measured against their own 36-month baselines · computed Sep 3, 2026 · activity-v1

  • 0 very high
  • 3 high
  • 15 elevated
  • 58 typical
  • 3 unscored

Articles about the parties, places, history, people, and vocabulary of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, measured from the day of the Hamas-led attack on Israel.

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.

Why these articles

The set is curated by hand as coarse groups, not chosen by score: it is meant to sample the topic’s neighborhood, including articles expected to be quiet.

Parties and places15 articles
The states, organizations, and locations most directly involved — where new events are written in as they happen.
History and background14 articles
Long-standing articles on the conflict's history, where framing debates tend to surface after a crisis.
People14 articles
Biographies of leaders and officials named in coverage of the attack and the war that followed.
Terminology and law14 articles
Concept and legal articles whose definitions are invoked in the debate, and where wording changes carry weight.
International response14 articles
Institutions, NGOs, and bilateral-relations articles that absorb the diplomatic and campus response.
Controls8 articles
Unrelated, long-stable articles measured with the identical method. They should land typical; they are here so the method can be checked against its own misses.
