Can we add vote history to the data.se dumps?

Question

EDIT AGAIN

For everyone downvoting this request - how is this different from the data already publicly available from the new /users/<id>/<name>?tab=reputation page? At least leave an answer or comment?!

EDIT

Given the recent change here Revealing voting patterns - new trend? this request is not too much to ask is it?

I have come across 2 queries so far that will not work using data.se:

• Can you check my query (fastest to 10k)?
• SEDE translation of Legendary badge query

Given that we are already showing total user.downvote, can we have a table like this?

Table: user-vote
========================
uservoteid    identity
userid        int
vote_date     date   ** no time info = same identifiability as /user/rep page

It is still unidentifiable against where/when-exactly the votes were cast, but would help in various queries that test daily-aggregated rep changes.

There is some info about bounties gone missing along the same lines - since bounty offers (-ve rep) is missing from the vote table completely. Can vote.user_id have the correct value for bounties (instead of null)?

Answer 1

While it may be difficult to associate a person with a particular vote based only on day, it's not perfectly anonymous.

Breaking that anonymity, even at this very high level where it's hard to see anything, still requires a high bar. I don't think these queries, and many others, bring enough to the table in terms of improving stack overflow to release this information.

Please review Revealing voting patterns - new trend? for one instance where voting patterns may be pulled out of such data.
