Is there a pattern behind Wikipedia edits?

Answer: decide for yourself

A real-time visual and audio representation of edits made to Wikipedia displays circles and plays sounds in the user’s browser. Bells indicate additions, string plucks indicate subtractions, and changes in pitch indicate size of the edit, with larger edits having deeper notes. Green circles show edits from unregistered contributors, and purple circles show edits by automated bots. New users joining Wikipedia are punctuated by a string swell. Read more about the project on the developer’s website.
