Coworking

I looked into the Coworking article. The trend for work at home computer professionals seems to be covered in the Telecommuting article. However, Coworking seems to be physical locations having restrooms, kitchen with coffe machine, desks, electricity, Internet connections - everything else that goes into a business except human workers. Self-employed developers, writers and independents go to these work locations with their laptops to work on their own material. Instead of paying $1,500 per month for office space/equipment with no co-workers, these locations permit a self-employed person to work along side others for about $20 per day. There is the PBwiki, Inc. website Coworking]? There also is Coworking Group At Google Groups. I've never heard of coworking and yes, Wikipedia should have an article on this topic. Let me see if I can work something up. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 13:42, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

There seems to be a lot of telecommuting buzzwords. Coworking has some similarities with Telecentre and Telecottage. I'll keep looking -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 17:25, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for looking into this. And thanks for the kind words, and the badge. I've got an update that will enhance the tool that I'll put up this weekend and let you know about. w3ace 17:31, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

I found a variety of news articles mentioning Coworking. The term "Coworking" is unfortunate because coworker is a very common term and it does not mean Coworking. The earliest mention of "Coworking" I found is

King, Steve; Townsend, Anthony; and Ockels, Carolyn. Institute for the Future. (January 2007) The Intuit Future of Small Business Report: Vision of Small Business in 2017: Phase One – The Changing Face of Entrepreneurs. Pg. 13-14.

The term probably is older than that. The concept certainly is older. I'll see what I can put together. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 17:54, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Wikirage

Is it possible to have 1 minute, 5 minute, 10 minute, and 30 minute increments? Also, tool seems to scan all namespaces for the most active pages. Is it possible to created an option to focus on particular namespaces such as all, (Main), Talk, User, User talk, Wikipedia, Wikipedia Talk, Image, Image Talk, MediaWiki, MediaWiki Talk, Template, Template Talk, Help, Help Talk, Category, Category Talk, Portal, Portal Talk. Thanks. Also, is it possible to have an option that limits the list to biographies? -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 17:53, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

This all could be done, however the screen scraping I'm doing to get the data I use now would have to be expanded significantly. If I had access to direct SQL queries or an API I could probably do a lot more. Currently I'm only bringing down the Main Namespace -- As for segments less that 1 hour, the data is summarized once every 15 minutes and cached to make the data small enough to manage the web volume on my server, I did just make some changes to the summarization and I think if you were to look at the site ever 1/2 hour you'd get a very good view of things that need Administrative help. I'll put these items on my list, the next thing I'd like to do is Spanish, Portugese, and Polish wikirage versions w3ace 02:52, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

• Right now, Wikipedia uses Template:Vandalism information to get an overall sense elevated levels of vandalism. Is it possible to include a graph on each wikirage.com page showing how the number of items in red changes over time. For example, Last Hour now shows about 80 out of 100 red links. It would be nice to see a 72-hour line graph (or longer) showing how that ratio has changed relative to UTC time. It would be good to see similar graphs on each of Last 3 Days, Last Week, Last Month, Last Year, as well. This would be a great way to get a sense of whether and when elevated levels of vandalism occur. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 17:48, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

• To make my efforts easier, perhaps you could indicate on Wikirage whether an article presently is protected, whether it is presently appearing on the Main Page, provide a link to the Wikipedia article from Wikirage, and a link that opens up Stats with the article name searched. Also, a countdown clock on each page to let me know how long to the next update. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 22:33, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

• Is there a way to include a green up arrow and a red down arrown next to a ranking to indicate a change from the prior update. Also, is there a way to include a star or something next to a ranking to indicate a new entry on the list from a prior update. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 08:38, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

• Can you please make the "Spanish & French" wikirage pages working ? TIA .--90.23.3.137 (talk) 18:41, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Deleted article

The Coworking was deleted because it did look like an advertisement and lacked reliable source material. Wikirage has not been discussed enough in newspapers to create a Wikipedia article out of the topic. I think this all is a misunderstanding about what Wikipedia is. As set out at Wikipedia in brief, Wikipedia is nothing more than a neutral and unbiased compilation of previously written, verifiable facts. If there is enough material in reliable sources (newspapers, books, etc.) that are independent of the subject, there can be an article on the topic. If there is not enough reliable sources, the topic can never meet the verifiability policy. See General notability guideline. The facts must have been previously written by a reliable source not connected with the topic or they generally cannot be used in Wikipedia. None of the information in your Wikirage website can be used in a Wikipedia article on the Wikirage website. Odd, isn't it. : ) Wikipedia is not as straight forward as it seems and it usually takes people about three months of editing to get how Wikipedia works. Don't take the deletion of Wikirage too hard. There are already two reliable sources mentioning your website. A few more and we can create a Wikipedia article on your website. This probably will happen in a week or two, so just hang tight. I am keeping an eye on it. : ) -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 17:35, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

• P.S., I posted a news tip at Wikipedia Signpost, so hopefully they'll pick up the story. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 17:52, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

My pride may be minorly bruised by the Wikirage deletion but it isn't like my concerns with the community in regards to coworking and list of webkinz pets. I guess with coworking I just didn't spend enough time to write a decent article .. ok the community needs to give pointers and time to see if someone will fix the concerns. With List of Webkinz Pets you just pissed off people who put their own time and energy into that page for no good reason and I know for a fact more that 100 people have tried to find that information since it was deleted -- they don't get that the wikipedia has editorial standards - they took it for what it was unverifiable content that interested them.

• PS wikirage might get a story in The Wall Street Journal in the coming two weeks - I expect that would be a 'Reliable Source'
  • If it makes it into the The Wall Street Journal, other newspapers likely will want their own story as well. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 17:35, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Idea for another tool or modification to WikiRage

IP addresses seem to be the editors least likely to know Wikipedia policy and the most likely to have WikiRage. Aka's Page History Stats Tool list the number of "unique editors" to any one article by total unique editors and number of IP addresses. Is it possible to create a dynamically updated list of articles by percentage of IP addresses editing each article for a given period of time and rank those from 1 to 100? Thanks. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 17:33, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Wikirage

Hi - any idea why the article on Wikirage was deleted? It seems irresponsible. It's notable and directly of interest to any WP editor. Thanks -- Geĸrίtz 00:29, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

WikiRage database problem

Hey, the Wikirage database seems to have been down the last couple of days. Any idea what's wrong? JACOPLANE • 2007-11-20 13:18

How to add a language?

Hello. Acoording to a discussion in the Chinese Wikipedia, some wikipedians are interested in Wikirage to be installed in the Chinese Wikipedia. Do we need to do anything in Chinese Wikipedia before you can activate http://zh.wikirage.com/? -- Kevinhksouth (talk) 13:57, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Wikirage for talk and policy pages?

Here's an interesting need from some researchers on wikien-l - Wikirage for talk pages and policy pages. This would show not only what articles were editing hotspots, but what article discussions were. And for policy pages, it would show what a huge pile of policy wonks we really were ;-) I suggested they ask you about this.

Oh BTW, you did know Wikirage is linked on Special:Statistics? - David Gerard (talk) 09:28, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Can you please add sr: wikipedia to your wikirage. Thanks. --SasaStefanovic • 07:25, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Wikirage history?

Do you record and store the data you retrieve, and can other users/bots access this stored data? Thanks! SharkD (talk) 02:35, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Typo on www.wikirage.com page

Look in the 'What is Wikirage?' section. The following sentence "Popular people in the news, the latest fads, and the hottest video games, Internet memes, zietgeist, and trends bubble to the surface." has 'zeitgeist' misspelled. Your contact information is not immediately clear on your website.
