Hi everyone, some shameless promotion: for those interested in any variant of Hebrew and related languages, the Area 51 proposal for Semitic Languages may be of interest.
Is there any way to measure the participation of active users? I recently asked questions on other sites and within a matter of hours they had garnered more views than all my Mi Yodeya questions combined had garnered in all time. Both of those cites have many more registered users than Mi Yodeya, but they do not have many more active questions. In fact one of them has significantly fewer active questions. >cont.
<cont. Do Mi Yodeya users simply ask more questions or vote less? Can one measure the per capita question rate or voting rate?
Suppose an answer is blatantly incorrect. (E.g. it quotes a Talmudic passage to answer the question, but the passage in question actually says the exact opposite.)
I would assume that normally the best thing to do would be to downvote and leave a comment explaining that the answer is incorrect. ...
Many answers on Mi Yodeya include sources, often from rabbinic literature. Many times the entire answer can be a quotation from such a source.

The URL for this tab is https://[site].meta.stackexchange.com/users?tab=participation.

Okay, that's helpful. I wonder, though if there is something that calculates total views of posts across all users sitewide, and/or a place that shows every profile's "last seen" in one place, so that we could get a picture of the relationship between number of users visiting the site and number of views (or number of votes).
