Data Mining For Deletion Vs User Stats
How easy would it be to produce a data set consisting of the age of accounts that have created pages that have been deleted via CfDs and Afds? The data would be number of pages per new account age time bands (it would mean getting access to the history of deleted pages). I want to see if there is a case for lengthening the stand down period of new page creation for new user accounts. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 18:47, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
- The best way to do that would be to run a query on the database, so any Toolserver user should be able to do that for you. Legoktm (talk) 19:44, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Famous quotes containing the words data, mining and/or user:
“This city is neither a jungle nor the moon.... In long shot: a cosmic smudge, a conglomerate of bleeding energies. Close up, it is a fairly legible printed circuit, a transistorized labyrinth of beastly tracks, a data bank for asthmatic voice-prints.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Any relation to the land, the habit of tilling it, or mining it, or even hunting on it, generates the feeling of patriotism. He who keeps shop on it, or he who merely uses it as a support to his desk and ledger, or to his manufactory, values it less.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A worker may be the hammer’s master, but the hammer still prevails. A tool knows exactly how it is meant to be handled, while the user of the tool can only have an approximate idea.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
