Wikiparse / public prototype
Make the shape of a corpus inspectable.
Wikiparse parses encyclopedic dumps into citable, analyzable form. The parser is published on PyPI (v1.0.2), the first corpus epoch's metadata tables are on the Hugging Face Hub, and this page shows what receipted corpus data looks like when it is made inspectable.
Two data seams, labeled. The thinkers timeline below renders the thinkers-v1 receipted selection from epoch enwiki-20260601. The category explorer stays a hypothetical, versioned sample while the full corpus release clears its evidence gates.
Campaign frontier
Five connected pieces of work
- 01
Publish useful subsets
Small, honestly scoped releases can be more useful than waiting for a single total release.
- 02
Partition for analysis
Categories should make useful properties cheap to filter, compare, and navigate.
- 03
Separate disambiguation pages
Keep their relational value while avoiding treating them as ordinary articles.
- 04
Raise citation correctness
Identify authors, titles, and publishers with evidence rather than superficial success.
- 05
Tell deeper analysis stories
Use transparent visual analysis for citations and the category tree when the evidence is ready.
What this page proves
A static explanation first; replaceable data seams second.
The page does not read the canonical store, a warehouse, private paths, or an API. Its client enhancements fetch two public JSON files, validate every payload against a closed contract, and leave the reading path intact if any request fails. Timeline numbers trace to receipts on the immutable epoch; explorer numbers remain invented examples.

Wikipedia enwiki-20260601 · thinkers-v1 receipted selection
Every point is a person article in the enwiki-20260601 corpus selected by the receipted thinkers-v1 stage: rows are chosen by spine category count with a three-fold weight for philosophy, cognitive science, and the systematic sciences. Years come from Wikipedia's year-of-birth and year-of-death categories; century-rounded rows are marked. Selected rows without a birth year stay in the dataset and its counts, but cannot sit on a birth-year axis. Nothing here is hypothetical: the dataset links its receipts.
