Notes on the data

• Weekly figures are differences between the snapshots recorded on the blog post (Sep 12, 18, 24, then Oct 3 for Wards 1–13 and Oct 5 for Wards 14 onward, and now Oct 9 for all wards). The Oct 3/5–Oct 9 period is 6 days for Wards 1–13 and 4 days for the rest; the Sep 24–Oct 3/5 period is 9 days for Wards 1–13 and 11 days for the rest.
• Wards 18–24 were posted after Sep 12, so they have no grey segment.
• Wards 16 (River) and 21 (Rideau-Jock) were acclaimed, so there is no debate.
• Date typos in the source were read as: Ward 5 "Sep 19" as Sep 18, Ward 14 "2036" as 2026, Ward 12 "20260013" as Sep 13, Ward 20 "20260824" as Sep 24, Ward 10 "29261009" as Oct 9.
• Ward 23 is recorded as 481 views on Sep 15 and 133 on Sep 18. Cumulative views cannot fall, so one figure is probably a typo; it is plotted as recorded and its Sep 18–24 bar is likely overstated.
• Ward 4 links to the full debate; the highlights clip is not included.
