The Politics of Wikipedia
Much of the content of Wikipedia is encyclopaedia-like, but Wikipedia editors also respond to current events. The goal of this project is to highlight which parts of Wikipedia are more political (or at least contemporary), by correlating Wikipedia edits with recent traffic on Twitter.

Users should be able to navigate according to recency, popularity, or controversy. They should also have some way to know (through correlation analysis) when different topics or pages appear to be alternative views of the same underlying events.
