Pharma Wikipedia Disease Analysis
Preview:
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.

the main disease areas where pharmaceutical companies are active

- 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
