User blog:NecrusIV/Featured Article Vote 33 Statistics

The following blog lists some data I collected regarding the 33rd Featured Article vote, which supports the repeated claim of fraudulent voting taking place.

User account creation
The sudden spike in the creation rate of user accounts during the voting period (~29th of November) suggests a sudden influx of sock puppet accounts created specifically to rig the vote.

Featured article poll vote count
The total number of votes for the 33rd featured article vote is way above average, further suggesting the usage of proxies, and supporting the possibility of other genuine users coming over from other wikis specifically to rig the vote. Additionally, of the three suspicious months (months featuring high account creation), only November (i.e. the voting period for the 33rd featured article vote) features an unusually high number of votes.
