About this data
This page tracks how rapidly new biography articles on Wikipedia lose citations after being published. It measures the median citation loss per article within a 7-day window, as well as the proportion of biographies that lose at least one citation. The data is derived from monitoring newly created biography pages and comparing their citation counts over time, a process that requires significant computational effort to automate. Understanding this trend highlights how quickly Wikipedia articles may become less reliable without proper sourcing, offering insights into the platform's self-correction mechanisms.
