Ein neues Analysewerkzeug für Wikipedia-Daten entsteht.
Nutzer, IPs, Kategorien und tausende Revisionen lassen sich gezielt durchsuchen und miteinander verbinden.
Der spannende Teil kommt jetzt: Was steckt in den Daten, wenn ich systematisch weiter grabe?

Ich habe seit Samstag drei neue Wikipedia-Tools gebaut.
Nur ein Beispiel: Mit dem neuen "Wikipedia IP Analyzer" bin ich heute in der Versionsgeschichte des Wikipedia-Artikels über Donald Trump auf Bearbeitungen gestoßen, die über IP-Adressen von Roche, Mercedes-Benz und BWI (IT-Dienstleister Bundeswehr) vorgenommen wurden. Insgesamt, so das Tool, gibt es von den drei IPs in der deutschen Wikipedia mehr als 2.000 Edits. Die muss ich irgendwie auswerten. -
• und so Bearbeitungsmuster deutlich transparenter machen.
Das eröffnet spannende Möglichkeiten für investigativen Journalismus, #ddj und Wikipedia-Analysen. 🚀

The US turned 250 this month.
A perfect opportunity for our colleagues at DW Data to do a bit of digging and put together a couple of charts.
Their key question: Has America shaped the world by leading – or by pulling back? From founding-era neutrality to superpower status to today's "America First" moment, Gianna-Carina Grün and Peter Hille trace the swings between isolation and intervention that built modern US foreign policy.

Stanford University researchers have been tracking 1000+ people through the ups and downs of their relationships.

Nein?! Doch!! Oh!!
Falls jemand noch Zweifel hatte:
Der von Rechtspopulisten forcierte und von einer schlecht informierten Bevölkerung zunächst mehrheitlich begrüßte #Brexit ist großer Mist für das Vereinigte Königreich.
Das zeigen immer mehr ökonomische Daten und Studien.
Die BBC hat soeben einen vorsichtigen und dennoch 100% eindeutigen #DDJ #Longread zum Thema publiziert:

#WorldPressFreedomDay has come and gone, but it can't hurt to take another look at these excellent #DDJ pieces by Rodrigo Menegat Schuinski (DW Data) and Veronika Halamková (Datawrapper):

"When official information is difficult to obtain, reporters turn to court filings, leaks, community reporting and independently assembled datasets to reconstruct events. Those methods (...) are common in countries where governments tightly control information, but are becoming more familiar in the United States as federal agencies release less detailed data about immigration enforcement."
(via Jackie Spinner / Pulitzer Center)

Ten outstanding #DDJ projects that won at the #SigmaAwards:
https://gijn.org/stories/2026-data-journalism-sigma-award-winners/
"Topics (...) ranged from environmental degradation in Europe and state-sponsored sabotage in the Baltic Sea to algorithmic failure in Peru, shell companies in Mexico, and supply chain harms in Nigeria."

"Datenjournalismus muss ausgebaut und finanziert werden. Gute Datenrecherchen entstehen nicht nebenbei. Sie brauchen Fachwissen, technische Infrastruktur und genügend Zeit für Kontrolle."
Sehr richtig! Denn das Entscheidende ist nicht, dass „irgendwas“ rauskommt. Sondern, dass es korrekt ist - oder eine möglichst genaue Annäherung an die Wirklichkeit.
