 == Simple English Wiki network: birds-eye view ==
 === Wikipedia as a scale-free network ===
-The Wikipedia network contains [[special:random|many]] [[Adolf_Hitler|special]] [[wikipedia:SixDegrees|pages]]. Therefore, pages are given a [[wikipedia:namespace|namespace]]; a namespace equal to 0 signifies an article. Links between pages exist in two forms: [[wikipedia:University_of_Amsterdam|regular links]] appear as blue, while a [[link to a nonexistent page]] appears as red. Often, a link redirects a [[wikipedia:uk|page]] to [[wikipedia:united_Kingdom|another page]]. Removing all redirects, and retaining only the articles and links between them significantly reduces the data size (see the [[#infobox|infobox]]). The resulting network of 113,202 nodes and 4,525,556 links was the starting point of our analyses.

 As [[wikipedia:Scale-free_network|scale-free networks]] are known to be prone to attacks,<ref name="bb">Barabási, Albert-László, ''Network Science'', 2015.</ref> and our goal is to attack the network as to disrupt the Wiki Game, our first goal was to study the scale-free property. The indegree distribution of the Simple English wiki and a polynomial fit (found using [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/powerlaw powerlaw]) is shown on the left; the indegree distribution of the English wiki network of 2007 is shown on the right. The apparent outliers in the left graph can be explained by the existence of very poorly connected [[wikipedia:Clique|cliques]] of large degree (e.g. [[wikipedia:simple:Ablon|Ablon]] is part of a degree-704 clique).
