Editing Incubator escapee wiki:WikiProject Mathematics/PlanetMath Exchange/Statistics (section)

==A bit of analysis==

Initially, the proportion of ''more complete'' or ''adequate'' articles on Wikipedia was higher, accounting for about two thirds of the total number (based on the ''Adjusted %'' of Table 2).  This may be due to the early tendency of participants to work through the smaller categories: Wikipedia might be said to have something on almost `everything', and so would be likely to have ''something'' on most topics for which PlanetMath has ''something''.

However, as work progresses, and the participants delve into the larger categories, the greater level of detail found on PlanetMath becomes apparent.  In certain topics, PlanetMath has a great deal of detail that Wikipedians appear to have eschewed in favour of greater breadth, until now.  The proportion of ''more complete'' and ''adequate'' articles is now (23:10, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)) below 60%, and the proportion of reviewed PlanetMath articles with content to contribute is over 40%.
