Top 10 articles by uncited claim persistence (hours) — table, last 30 days.

About this data

This page tracks the speed at which uncited claims are introduced into Wikipedia articles, measured in median time to citation addition (in hours) and uncited claim rate per 1,000 edits. The data reveals how quickly unsourced information spreads and highlights gaps in Wikipedia’s quality control. By identifying the top 10 articles with the longest persistence of uncited claims, it provides insight into where editorial oversight may be failing.

Why this isn't published anywhere else

While Wikipedia has tools to flag uncited claims and identify unsourced statements, no known public dashboard or dataset tracks the velocity (rate of appearance) of uncited claims over time.

Uniqueness score 1.00 — assessed against live web search results when this subject was created.
