Creepypasta - The Popularity of SCP Stories

I had originally planned to do this visualization during the month of October as I felt it would be a little more fitting at that point. However due to the overwhelming votes for this viz over the other one I had planned to do at this time led us to Creepypasta winning out! I decided to scrape the SCP Wiki as I felt it was one of the best curated sources of Creepypasta around.

Unfortunately Tableau Public no longer lets you embed http data sources (rather than https) and SCP is purely http only. =( As you can see below it looks SOOOOO nice in Tableau Desktop!

Why will you let this work in Desktop but not Public Tableau!!?!?!

Some things to note:

• The most popular month to write/edit creepypasta is actually April and June! I would have thought October but that is the second LOWEST month!
• Lowest rated SCP-952 http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-952
• Highest rated SCP-173 http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-173

Below is the breakdown of time/date/days of posts of SCP articles:

Here is the breakdown of the "popularity" of SCP CreepyPasta, you can arrange it just about any way you'd like coloring or sizing it by different aspects or choosing a date range and the scatter plot above will reshape in that way. For the shape metrics I decided to go with object class (which took QUITE a bit of cleaning) or if an object was marked as "Safe".

As always hit me on twitter @wjking0 or leave a comment below or on other social media for comments/questions.

P.S. Sorry this one took so long and was kinda lackluster, I was hoping to find a work-around for displaying webpages inline with Tableau Public but sadly couldn't quite make it happen. =/
