I Made a Graph of Wikipedia... This Is What I Found

Explaining overly complex charts over smooth jazz is my favorite YouTube genre.

I love how almost all dead-end articles you mentioned have no longer been dead-end just within a day of this video being uploaded.

I like how someone fixed the Fanta Cake article but didn't bother to replace the sad sopping excuse of a fanta cake picture lmao

Once when playing the wikipedia game in history class, the target article was "the French Revolution." We all had to start on a random page in order to demonstrate that essentially everything in the world is influenced heavily by the French Revolution. Some lucky duck's random article was "France"💀💀💀💀

Petition to run the code to make this graph yearly to see how it changes.

The algorithm is sleeping on this one update: The algorithm was sleeping on this one

Just that family making up community 42 made me smile. Seeing a robust algorithm in action is awesome.

As a former Wikipedia editor, this is really cool to see! I regularly make use of the SpecialPages Orphaned, Deadend, Unconnected or Redirect to try and improve the linked data structure. I would really love seeing Wikipedia take this project as a source for more linked improvements!

The fact that the "Fanta Cake" was noticeably edited during the making of the video is hilarious

Another thing I’d like to point out is how 97% of all Wikipedia articles will end up in philosophy if you kept clicking on the first hyperlink

Shout out to 'videos explaining complex topics with graphs and charts while smooth jazz plays in the background' Gotta be one of mi favorite genres

I can’t believe I watched a 20 minutes video about Wikipedia graphs to be finally be surprised with Fantakuchen as one of the most special articles. I just had Fantakuchen on Easter this year and it was one of my favorite birthday cakes all childhood long (next to Donauwelle, wave of the river Donau). Applause!

Dude came up with one of the most significant and important studies of Wikipedia ever conceived for a game. Amazing.

Dude you should seriously submit this graph as a series to a modern art museum!! I know it sounds strange, but it’s so unique, so visually interesting, and there are so many parts of it that reveal truths about society, politics, human behavior, etc. I know so many galleries that would just love to have this as a series!

I love the Internet! 14:25 The Acton family was immediately welcomed back into the wider Wikipedia community xD

You ABSOLUTELY need to make merch on this image (posters and shirts), because I would absolutely eat it up!

I want a CURSED wikipedia race as a prank. You host, you select at "random" but all of them are 10th degree separation OR HIGHER.

I really hope the Wikipedia groups start talking about this, this is really cool to see

A few days ago I responded to a comment on a video that was providing helpful information to the YouTuber, but the information was slightly incorrect. I provided a polite correction to the comment, and I got a thank you in response. Today, I was browsing the fandom wiki for that subject and I noticed in one of the articles in the trivia section, it stated the helpful information including the small piece that was incorrect. I was confused, so I went to the main article about the topic and it was correct, but the trivia section was incorrect and didn't even link to the main article. I quickly realized that this was where the misinformation was coming from, so I edited the first article to have the correct information and link to the main article about that topic, then went back to the original comment to explain that one of the wiki articles was wrong so I fixed it to prevent someone else from being confused about it.

you should absolutely render HD images of the graph, it's beautiful, 4k at least if not super high res
