Wikipedia Research Paper

My name is Dale Carty II and I am a cadet at the United States Coast Guard Academy. I am writing a research paper on the mechanics of Wikipedia. I saw your "Wikipedia article traffic statistics" engine which rose a few questions. How are you able to view the amount of visitors to a specific page? Is it possible to find or locate who made corrections to a Wikipedia page? Are there any consequences that occur when people place incorrect information online? Thank you in advance for your timely response.

Very Respectfully, 4/c Carty —Preceding unsigned comment added by DLCarty (talk • contribs) 17:50, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

The source data that Henrik uses is actually posted by domas, a tech guy for Wikimedia. (You might also be interested in the FAQ for Henrik's tool). Too bad our page view article isn't very explanatory, but it does cover the very basics. To respond to your second question, you can view the "history" tab on any page to see who has made what edits. See also Help:History. As far as people posting incorrect information, on Wikipedia we can block users who continue to post incorrect data after being warned not to.

Thanks

Hey, thanks for the page view statistics. Very helpful in knowing if people are reading selected wiki pages. Cheers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ultimatedit (talk • contribs) 01:56, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Article statistics (after April 7)

Please read the responses (and the suggested FAQ), to avoid posting redundant questions/comments.

Thanks!  Kiefer.Wolfowitz  (Discussion) 09:37, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

User Based Statistics

Henrik, I was thinking page stats by user would be interesting. For example, aggregated page stats for articles created by a user or change in page stats based on the contributions of a user. Please consider. Thank you! Jasonbook99 (talk) 14:22, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Stats failure?

Hi Henrik. Do I get it right that there's been a failure of the Stats tool on April 8? Even the Main page shows zero hits for that day. Is there a way to retrieve the hits count for April 8 for a particular article like Iman al-Obeidi, for instance? Regards, Cinosaur (talk) 12:37, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Main Page and all article traffic statistics

Dear Henrik, Some problem with the Article traffic statistics of Anna Hazare of April 8, 2011. Kindly have a look. Thanks.-- . Shlok talk . 13:53, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

All stats grok statistics, I think. No stats for the Main Page on April 8, or any other page I see. Maile66 (talk) 14:25, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Occassional stat failures are common, but not two in a row

Stats are still showing zero, this being the second day in a row. I usually don't even look at stats anymore but I just made a good article and I was watching it's traffic trends for the first week. Daniel Christensen (talk) 03:25, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Third day in a row, never seen that, can I assume that the stat thing, which has always said is a beta service and may dissappear at anytime, has done just that? Interesting to see how many people count on it, though. Daniel Christensen (talk) 04:13, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

It was down for several days last month (the posts about it are above on this page). It happens occasionally and then the problem gets fixed. Henrik just doesn't reply here every time someone reports a problem, but he reads the page so I'm sure he's aware of the problems. Just give it a few days, I'm sure it will be back up again. --- Crakkerjakk (talk) 05:07, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Since its inception what's been the longest consecutive downtime? Because it's now on day four. When the stats fail, does it stop counting in the middle of a day so the days surrounding the failure are less than the real views? Or is it just all or none? Daniel Christensen (talk) 01:10, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
Appears that the site where the raw data used to be stored -->http://dammit.lt/wikistats/archive/2011/04/ has been redirected to http://dom.as/. If this was where the toolserver account was pulling the data from, then its not anymore. Calmer Waters 01:42, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
The raw data is there through. First, you can go to http://dammit.lt/wikistats/ where the raw data is stored. There are 24 files for each day in 1 hour intervals. You can then manually extract the stats for an article, download the files, uncompress them, then using a text editor, find the article in each file. There are two numbers after each article name, the first is the number of page views for that article in that hour. Warning through. The download can take a considerable amount of time.

Problem with article statistics page

There seems to be a problem with the article statistics page (http://stats.grok.se/). For the last 4-5 days, every article's page view number has been "0", even for heavily visited articles like Barack Obama. I find it hard to believe that zero people visited the Barack Obama article in the last 5 days. (I read the pageview FAQ, but didn't find any information about why there would be 0 hits).

Here is the beginning of the answer, which I got in my pdd :

Traffic stats

All the monthly page views since 2011 aren't appearing. 2010 2011. Until Henrik fixes this I suspect the page ranks will continue to stay the same. Must be some kind of Y2K error. Marcus Qwertyus 01:49, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia article traffic statistics

Good afternoon. Page poseshayut many people, but in the statistics for several days, wrote that the page no one looks. [2] Thanks in advance. Sincerely, 77.52.52.192 (talk) 13:20, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

I tried it again today and it worked this time. Contains Mild Peril (talk) 02:46, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

I think the page view statistics include attempts to view red links. I created a new article (Xenon dioxide) and made 3 edits, and then I looked at the page view statistics and was surprised to find that "this page" (which I created today) was viewed 12 times in the last 30 days, some views 3 weeks ago. The only explanation I can find is that these views were attempts to view the (previously red) link to Xenon dioxide from the dab page at Xenon oxide. Dirac66 (talk) 00:12, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Förfrågan

Halloj! Mitt namn är Martin Wilson. Jag håller för närvarande på att författa en licentiatuppsats i ämnet historia. Licentiatuppsats är relativt ovanliga, de kan liknas vid en halv doktorsavhandling. Ämnet för min uppsats är Wikipedias texter och gymnasieelevers möte med dessa texter. Jag är inte primärt intresserad av källkritik, utan istället fokuseras min studie på vad IKT-revolutionen kan tänkas innebära; hur människors sätt att tänka förändras.

Min studie är i huvudsak kvalitativ, men jag funderar på att ta med även kvantitativa slutsatser. I det sammanhanget är jag intresserad av den statistik som du tagit fram. Är det möjligt för mig att ställa några frågor om materialet? Jag syftar bland annat på den här listan: http://stats.grok.se/en/201105/

Jag är (som synes) inte aktiv på Wikipedia. Om möjligt ser jag helst att vi kommunicerar via e-post, jag har: Martin.Wilson@hist.lu.se

traffic stats tool is great!

the traffic stats tool is really great, it is a good way to see the changing importance of this or that over time. Better than Google Trends, I think, because it has a much larger dynamic range -- e.g., can detect very low levels of interest. It is also less sensitive to multiple meanings of one term (e.g., two different people with the same name) than Google Trends. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.34.52.28 (talk) 01:07, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Recalculating statistic for top articles - please confirm our methods are correct

Hello Henrik, or Killion dude (since the previous hasn't answered for quite sometime and the later help ;-) . I notice that your top statistic for all wikipedias, or in this case, the English article top statistic - has bias. It doesn't calculate top article that year, it only calculate top article on December 2010. (I checked on the sum and the announcement on top left: "Most viewed articles in 201012" <-- most viewed article on December 2010). So I pay a dude to recalculate the whole year for top 101 manually adding the page view number, and this is what he came up with: (look at the total of the number of January-December 2010): Top 100 article on 2010 Serenity id (talk) 13:56, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Henrik, I have a question about the Wikipedia traffic stats. Do the downloads include only the traffic for that day? Is there a way to download traffic stats over a longer time frame, or would I have to download every file one-by-one?

Further information?

Henrik, thank you for a truly wonderful tool. I was wondering if you have any plans to develop it further. My wish would be for some sort of log information that would identify where spikes come from. Some are quite obvious, such as when an article appears on the main page or becomes the subject of a Google Doodle. But other times, an article will suddenly spike to 10x or 20x its normal traffic. Surely, those extra hits are equally the result of some source. Is it possible to show the top 1 - 5 originating sites? Thank you. Marrante (talk) 08:03, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Henrik merely republishes what domas, a dev for Wikimedia, outputs. See the FAQ for more info. He doesn't have any special access as far as I am aware. Killiondude (talk) 08:05, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
I did read the FAQ and almost didn't post this as a result, but decided to anyway, since I didn't know where else to ask the question and figured it would at least get seen here. I followed a link to the Tucows site, but didn't have time to check anything out, beyond looking at a couple of pages and a screen shot. I thought that by posting here, I'd perhaps get a reply and some information. Thanks for your reply. I will look at your FAQ. Marrante (talk) 06:27, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
Henrik only has access to numbers (figures/statistics) that domas publishes. So I think you should redirect your question to domas. Killiondude (talk) 06:29, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Copyright of page view stats screenshots

Someone has uploaded File:Pageviewstats.jpg to illustrate Help:Pageview stats, and has fallen into the restriction on non-free images outside of article space. I wonder if you could help out here?
