Wikistats
Wikistats is a web application that tracks edit counts and controversy scores on the English Wikipedia to monitor potential controversies as they unfold in real time.
It processes all changes made to the English Wikipedia in real time and calculates a controversy score (c-score) for each article. The c-score is a weighted sum of mutual reverts between editors over a specified time span.
The website displays the calculated metrics for the 10 most edited and 5 most controversial articles (based on the c-score). The metrics can be filtered by specific time spans.
