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:
- 16th - $4,867.94
- 17th - $3,193.28
- 18th - $2,353.70
- 19th - $2,997.28
- 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

First toe into the beast
We'll see if this sticks. [1] Garrett 07:00, 22 March 2007 (PDT)
