I'm in the middle of upgrading Crossref Event Data to use the new EventStreams, and I think it will provide exactly the kind of data you want. I'll check back in a few days with an update.

Thanks, Joe - this sounds great.

@afandian any news on this?

[afandian]

Absolutely! Crossref Event Data now uses Event Streams for the Wikipedia data. Entering beta very soon (probably tomorrow morning UK time). Here's something (not entirely serious!) that I made: http://live.eventdata.crossref.org/lines.html . Will be at WikiCite next week.

Oh, sorry I confused this with the thread about sonification. Here is some more detail about how Wikipedia references are collected for Crossref Event Data. https://www.eventdata.crossref.org/guide/sources/wikipedia/

OK, looking forward to discuss this here.
