At first, I was very curious about the gender distribution of people I've created a biographical article about. So I've used the Wikidata API to get the value of the property {{Wikidata property link|P21}} for all items corresponding to articles a user has created. This first tool is named "User-level gender statistics for Wikipedia".<ref>User-level gender statistics for Wikipedia: https://observablehq.com/@pac02/user-level-gender-statistics-for-wikipedia</ref>

All my tools are developed in [[JavaScript]] using Observable (a data visualization platform created by Melody Meckfessel and [[Mike Bostock]]), which makes it very easy to design interactive tools. One shortcoming is that you may experience some timeout errors, since my tools rely on a high number of API calls. I can imagine that if you've created more than 2,000 articles, you may have a lot of timeout errors. And all my work is [[open source]] – so feel free to improve it and suggest better solutions. And, of course, all of your feedback is greatly appreciated.

My last tool collects data about the number of revisions, the number of editors, the number of pageviews and the number of watchers for all articles a user has created using xtools articleinfo API.<ref>Look at your list of created articles with the Xtools Page ArticleInfo API: https://observablehq.com/@pac02/look-at-your-list-of-created-articles-with-the-xtools-page-ar</ref>
All my tools are fragile. I can imagine that if you've created more than 2,000 articles, you may have a lot timeout errors. All my work is [[open source]] and anyone can improve it. And of course all your feedbacks are greatly appreciated.
