Welcome! This is my user talk page. If you want to communicate with me for any reason, especially about pages I have made or edited, or any administrative actions I've performed, feel free to do so here.

I will generally reply here, unless you request otherwise. Please start a new section for new conversations.

I've been very busy in real life recently. I'm a bit less busy now, but I may suddenly go for long stretches without editing with no warning.

Aggreate data

Hello, are there any updated aggregate of the data available here http://dammit.lt/wikistats/? I mean for example one file per day or (better) one file per month instead of one file per hour.

Thanks!

Eugenio2 (talk) 11:24, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

@Eugenio2: See http://wikistics.falsikon.de/dumps.htm for that ;-) Monthly data for December will be added the next days there. --- Best regards, Melancholie (talk) 04:49, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stats Feature & dbpedia

Hello, I'm working on dbpedia, a project by the Freie Universitat Berlin (http://dbpedia.org/About); we would like to use your stats tool, if possible, to implement a new feature which aims at fuse information coming from the different wikipedia versions. It is possible to contact you via e-mail? My email address is eugenio -at- favoriti -dot- it Thanks.

AfC news

Dear AfC participant,

Msgj and Tnxman307 are organising the AfC challenge! It's a little competition to help improve some of the articles created through AfC and we are hoping that everyone will get involved. For level 1, you just need to bring a stub up to Start-class. Level 2 is improving a Start-class article to C-class. And so on. To get involved or for more information please see the competition page.
Those of you who haven't reviewed an article recently might not have noticed the new process that was implemented this year. Reviewing articles is now more enjoyable than ever :) You might like to give it a try. All articles waiting for review are in Category:Pending Afc requests. (Please read the updated instructions.)
Please consider adding {{AFC status}} to your userpage to keep track of the number of articles waiting for review. At the time of writing we are officially backlogged, so help is needed!
There is currently a proposal to bring the Images for upload process under the umbrella of WikiProject Articles for creation. The rationale is that both processes are designed to allow unregistered users to take part more fully in Wikipedia, and partipants in each process can probably help each other.

If you no longer wish to receive messages from WikiProject Articles for creation, please remove your name from this list. Thank you.

Wikipedia article traffic statistics

I think it is fantastic tool. I always wondered which article is popular and this tool gives me insight of wikipedia visitors. I would like to request you to keep it.

Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.98.41.40 (talk) 21:31, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year 2009 to Henrik

Thanks for all. Pedro~~Io_Wiki2007~~ (talk) 00:53, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Henrik was inducted into The Hall of The Greats

Henrik, the inscription is in the description. I chose this image because Carey is arguably the second most famous subject I photographed (Madonna, the first, was dedicated to Jimbo), and your tool has made you one of the most popular editors on here. You are one of "The Greats". Happy New Year. --David Shankbone 01:32, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia article traffic statistics

Hello, Henrik. I do hope you are planning to update that neat feature for the benefit of those of us (ahem!) who aren't sufficiently numerate or tech-oriented to handle the raw data . . .

Happy New Year! Awien (talk) 21:54, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Henryk, the January 2009 stats do not show up. I think there is month 0 default that is causing some error. I had to type 200901 directly in the URL address line. Regards, --Bushhopper (talk) 09:59, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

THANKS is very useful utility. --Chrihern (talk) 22:30, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Henrik, what an excellent service! I hope 2009 will soon be showing up. Soczyczi (talk) 12:03, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hit count

hit count: fabulous, well done, you deserve Maria Carey, well earned. Of course everyone will want more. There is spare white space on my page to the right of the graph - that could carry a table or two say: the top 20 articles hit-wise; the greatest improved number of hits; most hit people etc. Sure you've thought of all this. Granitethighs (talk) 08:55, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia page counts

Hey,

Could you please advise on where you get the page counts from? The 'page' table of the quarterly SQL dumps (enwiki-latest-page.sql) has counts which are very low for most pages; Seems odd to me that some pages on very wide subjects like 'Mathematics' only received 30,774 views. Any idea on where I can get global (i.e since the creation of the page) views for all of Wikipedia?

Wikipedia article stats

Hello,

When can i see the stats of January 2009?

Mezelf14 (talk) 13:25, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You could actually just add the option 200901 to the dropdownlist, since the URL functions already! stats.grok.se/en/200901/ --Saippuakauppias ⇄ 15:16, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gerald Kean

Hi Henrik, I have some issues with the above article. The individual concerned ia a solicitor (lawyer) who appears to rejoice in being termed a 'celebrity'. That in itself is highly subjective. Also is the purpose of wikipedia to have articles written about oneself as a function of self publicity? It seems that the main author of this article writes a large volume of Irish tv based entries, factual and neutral or free publicity? The substance of the article is mainly showbiz trivia and also seems to be misleading. The 'bought his wife a jet' quote which was actually featured in wiki recently is contradicted by the source (7), it says he bought a share (this may refer to buying some flying hours which is far more common). In any case hardly encyclopedic.

I suggest that this article should be deleted as having no encyclopedic value.

I have put a notability template on the page. Cheers Nicolas1981 (talk)

2009

Hi, I tried to check this page [1] at 6th of january. It is possible that 2009 is still unavailable? Regards--Beaverbear (talk) 09:56, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The script seems to report visits in 2009. Manually adjusting the URL in the address bar seems to be a workaround:

Page view history.

Hi Henrik,

Your page view history tool is proving very useful for my media research. As of now, there is no data available for 2009. I was wondering whether it will be available in the future, and if so, when?

Thanks a bunch.

220.128.171.2 (talk) 09:56, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Page view history 2009

The same as above. Greetings from Germany --Dellexxx (talk) 14:15, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Discrepancy

Hi Henrik, appreciate the stats counter very much. Have a simple query: On Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/SelectionBot hitcounts are described as daily page views but the ones here toolserver selected score v1.0 are massively high compared to grok, even taking into account the truncating by the selection bot. e.g. US is 1.4 million on the selected score and only 40,000 on grok. Have i missed something? thanks, Tom B (talk) 18:08, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

hi, i resolved with the selectionbot team, the stats there are actually monthly figures, Tom B (talk) 20:21, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Least hit articles ?

Do you have an idea how many monthly hits gets the least viewed article ? By random I have found Jason Raymond with 31 monthly hits, but I guess some are much lower... do you know any tool to know this ? Or if you know the number, that would do :-) Cheers, Nicolas1981 (talk) 08:54, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I represent henrik, but I would assume the answer to be zero...especially with certain stubs.Smallman12q (talk) 13:38, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Page views stats function on Wikipedia

Hi Henrik, I have a question about the page views stats function on Wikipedia that you access from the 'history' tab.

Do these stats differentiate between page views generated by search engine bots and real, human visitors, or do they just cover everything? I'd just be very interested to know as an entry that I've done a lot of work is now getting much improved results and I was just interested to know if other people we actually taking an interest!

Either way it's great to have a function like this built into Wikipedia - well done!

Many thanks for your help,

Jay. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mandrake71 (talk • contribs) 10:27, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Statistics

The statistics at: http://stats.grok.se/

Are very interesting and help a person creating an article to be enthused by seeing that people actually visit the article. It also inspires us to improve the article.

How are redirects counted?

Hey - with the redirects are they counted in the total for the main article? For instance Neurotics Anonymous redirects to Emotions Anonymous, so is this [2] the total for both, or would I need to add this [3]? -- Scarpy (talk) 21:55, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

stats of pages : no update for 3 days

is it planned in advance, or some incident occurs ? Thanks again for this great tool !!--82.224.87.68 (talk) 08:23, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

great variations

Hy! I noticed, that the most articles in de-Wikipedia have the same statistic scheme in the last months. There is a big rise of pageviews in december, which lasts until January 5th. For example see here (or here here. This scheme seems up in every article I tried, except from Vienna (which I compared with, because it is an article with thousands pageviews a day). It seems to be so in every article, which is between very seldom viewed and very often viewed. I don't think, that there are 35 days, where the whole german speaking area clicked on every article about 3 to 5 time as much as usually and then, after the 5th of january, the pageviews turn back to a level which I would describe as "normal" (compared to alle the other months). Can you give me an explanation for this phenomenon? Thank you! -- Otto Normalverbraucher (talk) 08:38, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Page history stats"

I Couldn't get any stats from the form; also, the page link, more Wikipedia tools, went nowhere. I was also wondering if there's a code that you could share to get an article's hit count for a given day without the full monthly graph that you wrote, which is excellent. Thanks. Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 09:12, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User Statistics

I use the charts of the users (hits) on a regular basis. They are essential for understanding how the Wikipedia site Alexander_Robertson_and_Sons_Ltd_ (Yachtbuilders) is being used.

The last date where user stats are available is 21 Jan. Is the chart tool being updated or discontinued?

stats.grok.se question

Do you have a list of days/times when the collection of data was interrupted? I noticed that there's a big gap in July 08 and would like to correct for it and other gaps in may calculations. Thanks! SharkD (talk) 07:32, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A couple more questions: 1) Does the tool have its own discussion page, or should all discussion continue here? 2) What are your planned features? I'd like to do such things as submit a list of articles and retrieve the page views (also in list format) for a specified time period. Also, I wonder if your service could be made more bot-friendly. Thanks! SharkD (talk) 01:59, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I thought it might be polite to show you what I have been using the tool for: Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Traffic statistics. Thanks for the great tool! SharkD (talk) 02:21, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

stats.grok./Page View Statistics Glitch

I'm not sure whether this is really a glitch or not, but by default it appears that the time is set to 200812 instead of 200901. I don't know whether its a technical limitation, but I just wanted to point it out as it would save people an extra click to switch to 200901 (and hence reduce the number of database calls slightly). As an example, see example. You will notice that by default it is 200812. Smallman12q (talk) 13:46, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it defaults to the last full month. Bubba73 (talk), 00:57, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Henrik. Since say 3 or 4 days ago, your statistic page about number of visitors for each page suddenly stoped january 21. Could this interesting page be updated to the actual date?

Also, a frind of mine recently created a new article and, when examining the number of visitor to it just after the page was created, which suposedly should be 1, only the creator, unexplainably your page showd like 10 visitors!

Thank you.--200.116.161.28 (talk) 14:13, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can't speak for Henrik regarding the lack of updates since the 21st, but the 10-edits-in-one-day phenomenon could be caused by the A) The article's creator looking at the article multiple times and B) New page patrollers, who keep an eye out for newly-created pages to tag them for appropriate cleanup, may have looked at the page, adding in 3-5 new hits in all likelihood. -Drilnoth (talk) 18:15, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NUMBER OF VISITS PER DAY

Henrik:

Thanks for all the support and help for wikipedia. I wrote the spanish article for the Italian arts museum (Museo de Arte italiano) in Lima, Peru. Since we are a small museum, we need the wikipedia article for people to know about us. however, the number of visits since january 21st is not shown (It says zero, but that's not right, cause at least it has to count my visit). I was wondering if you could check that, we really appreciate it.
