Description:
An analysis of Pharma Wikipedia disease pages. This looks at the common pharma disease pages on Wikipedia, including how often they are viewed and edited. It analyses the top editors of these disease pages that are of interest to Pharma companies. Editing disease pages by Pharma companies, in the right way, is a potentially lower risk route than prescription medicine pages. This is a useful analysis for anyone working in healthcare and interested in editing Wikipedia.

  • Introduction Wikipedia is a top source of information around medical products for patients, the public and health care professionals The goal is to analyse the Wikipedia pages of some of the main disease areas where pharmaceutical companies are active Note: all analytics data sourced directly from Wikipedia (all statistics up to 14/5/14) English language Wikipedia only

  • Average page edits per year Source Wikipedia Rank Disease Page edits per year 1 Bipolar disorder 570 2 Schizophrenia 566 3 Crohns disease 317 4 Multiple Sclerosis 397 5 Diabetes 542 6 HIV 348 7 Hypertension 335 8 Alzheimer's disease 565 9 Multiple Myeloma 94 10 ADHD 854 11 COPD 207 12 Rheumatoid Arthritis 189 13 Influenza 409 14 Anxiety 268 15 Asthma 543 16 Epilepsy 330 17 Gastroesophageal reflux disease 155 18 Breast Cancer 484 19 Cardiovascular disease 244 20 Depression 352 Disease pages are edited very frequently. Contrast Pharma Brand pages edited usually 50- 100 times per year. The outlier is Multiple Myeloma with relatively high page views yet few edits
  • Page edits vs number of editors Disease Page edits per year Number of editors Editors/E dits Index Bipolar disorder 570 2407 4.2 Schizophrenia 566 2111 3.7 Crohns disease 317 1674 5.3 Multiple Sclerosis 397 1928 4.9 Diabetes 542 2973 5.5 HIV 348 1770 5.1 Hypertension 335 1785 5.3 Alzheimer's disease 565 2553 4.5 Multiple Myeloma 94 484 5.1 ADHD 854 3150 3.7 COPD 207 876 4.2 Rheumatoid Arthritis 189 1082 5.7 Influenza 409 2148 5.3 Anxiety 268 1731 6.5 Asthma 543 2666 4.9 Epilepsy 330 1682 5.1 Gastroesophageal reflux disease 155 845 5.5 Breast Cancer 484 2377 4.9 Cardiovascular disease 244 1226 5.0 Depression 352 1671 4.7 Source Wikipedia Number of editors added for reference. As expected the number of editors correlates well with the number of edits

  • The Power Editors Jmh649 & Jfdwolff dominate the editing landscape Both are medical doctors
  • The Power Editors Jmh649 has edited 19 out of 20 of the most viewed diseases Jmh649 has contributed 24% of all the edits made by the Top 10 editors across the 20 diseases Jfdwolff has edited 12 out of 20 of the most viewed diseases Jfdwolff has contributed 7% of all the edits made by the Top 10 editors across the 20 diseases
  • Active editors When we consider editors active in the last 12 months (Top 10 editors across the 20 diseases) Only 37 out of 133 editors have been active Jmh649 & Jfdwolff are both active Jmh649 has edited 19 out of 19 of his historically edited diseases Jfdwolff has edited 9 out of 12 of his historically edited diseases
  • Key Learnings Disease pages are viewed 5-10 times more than individual medicine brand pages 2 editors, both medical doctors dominate the editing landscape Jmh649 is a Wikipedia editing machine but this also highlights the need for more HCPs to become keen editors of Wikipedia Only a small proportion of historical editors remain active editors of these disease pages
