\section*{Summary}
In summary, the change introduced by StackExchange clearly improved the engagement in 6 of the 10 investigated communities. Sentiment, vote score, and number (1st and follow-up questions) rose as a result. The other 4 communities do not profit from the change. Although, many statistics jump up to a higher level the downward trends are not stopped. The statistics of SuperUser show a large influx of new users about 6 months after the change sending the sentiment and vote score on a deep dive and with the decrease in new users they raise again. However, this event is not related to the change but the magnitude of the huge change in new user numbers renders the analysis incomparable.

% eval: vader -> sentiment, ITs, by looking at the 10 largest communities (list here, note so is by far the largest)
%repeat datensätze
% 10 largest se communities
% stack overflow by far the largest, >10x times math.se

%repeat results
% change seems to be a success, not a one size fits all solution that works everywhere but a majority of communities benefit
% benefitters
The change introduced by the StackExchange team produced desired results in more than half of the investigated communities:
StackOverflow, AskUbuntu, ServerFault, stats.stackexchange.com, tex.stackexchange.com, and unix.stackexchange. The results of the StackOverflow community most closely resembles the expectation of improving the welcomingness.
%in general
% first questions improved in all, followup in too in most of these communities
% sentiment raises in all except ServerFault
% vote score is does not yiel meaningful results, either completely unaffected or votescore changes drastically before or after change, only for ServerFault the time matches and there a huge spike, but it quickly returns to previous levels
%
% no benefits/no evidence
MathOverflow, SuperUser, math.stackexchange.com, and electronics.stackexchange.com do not profit as much from the change and show not an increase but decrease or continuation in the decrease of sentiment.
% the picture is often not clear for these communities, only one statistic improves, in contrast to the benfitting communtites where stats rise accross the board
% 1st question decrease for all communities -> bad sign
% follow up questions decrease for all except math.se
% vote score on a downward trend for all (for some even worse after)
%repeat discussion
%
However, the falling number of questions from new contributors stabilized a bit for the math communities and the vote score increased for electronics.stackexchange.com. SuperUser saw a huge influx of new contributors shortly after the change who asked a lot of questions and dropping the sentiment and vote score value during that period.
% one day files, state communities
% seasonality, state communities, state months
% large influx, state communities, state gravity
%other odd things (peculiarities)
% - stack overflow most stable, expected as largest community, also closly matches section 3 example
% - MathOverflow sparsest
% - sentiment levels vary drastically between communities, stats has highest, tex lowest
% - same goes for vote score, MathOverflow highest by far
%closing sentences
% change worked over all, majority benefitted
% no silver bullet, no simple solution, no 1 size fits all, communities to diverse
