About this data
This page tracks the speed at which images added to Wikipedia articles receive citations, measuring the median delay in hours, the share cited within seven days, and the longest uncited duration. The data comes from analysing upload timestamps against citation additions in article revisions. It highlights editorial responsiveness and potential weaknesses in sourcing for visual material, an often-overlooked aspect of Wikipedia’s quality standards.
Why this isn't published anywhere else
No existing dashboards, datasets, or recurring reports specifically track the lag between image upload and citation attachment on Wikipedia.
