That's a great chart! It would be cool if a major media property elected to use it.

Fuzzy Zoeller incident

Arg! I didn't even include the February 22nd revelation that Fuzzy Zoeller was bringing a lawsuit against an editor who libeled Zoeller in Wikipedia. Maybe I can update the page at some point, and extend the financial pattern backwards a couple of weeks, to include the Microsoft blogger incident, too. For now, though, I think the graphic speaks volumes. --MyWikiBiz 08:57, 19 March 2007 (PDT)

This would be a lot more convincing if you pushed the starting date back a month. For all we can tell, the first day just happened to coincide with a major donation and was a spike. Jayzel 00:46, 21 March 2007 (PDT)
Good comment, Jayzel. Actually, if I were to have gone back further in the data, one might interpret an even LARGER downward slide. The data from the last days of February:
20th - $3,505.75
21st - $2,922.72
22nd - $2,151.62 (Fuzzy Zoeller libel suit hits media)
23rd - $3,477.09
24th - $1,958.48
25th - $2,296.67
26th - $1,713.17
27th - $1,760.25
28th - $1,637.42
To go from the neighborhood of $3,000 per day, to $1,700 per day, to where it seems to be now -- around $900 per day . . . strikes me as a meaningful, palpable slide. --MyWikiBiz 06:07, 21 March 2007 (PDT)
