Hello Finn, 
   I do not have a specific answer to your question. However, it might be worthwhile to add Finnish in to the comparison as according to the CLDR 26 T-L information http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/26/supplemental/territory_language_information.html 

   You have some sizable Finnish language speakers in Sweden: 
 
Swedish {O} sv 95.0% 99.0%
Finnish {OR} fi 2.2%

    So if the similar query is executed on Finnish language, and the results also show some "undue" proportion of visits from Sweden, then what you observed as anomaly is the that unique. We probably need many iterations of comparative outcomes and normalization of data (Sweden does have higher population).  Also, it might be handy to have some statistics on immigration or residence, it is EU. I will not be surprised that for example the  visits from Oxford to Wikipedia website have sizable German language requests. 

    I am still a bit bothered by the number "1" in the current dataset. It does not feel right since the numbers of 1.4% and 0.6% is a notable difference in this regard. Perhaps we need some high precision "universal percentage" number for each territory-language pair. It would be also great to do another set of aggregation: i.e. given a territory, which language versions of Wikipedia are accessed....

Best,
han-teng liao

Hi Oliver,


Interesting dataset! I am curious about why the Danish Wikipedia is so highly acccessed from Sweden. Could it be an error, e.g., with Telia IP-numbers?

In Python:

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> df = pd.read_csv('http://files.figshare.com/1923822/language_pageviews_per_country.tsv', sep='\t')
>>> df.ix[df.project == 'da.wikipedia.org', ['country', 'pageviews_percentage']].set_index('country') pageviews_percentage
country
Austria                            1
China                              1
Denmark                           61
Estonia                            1
France                             1
Germany                            2
Netherlands                        2
Norway                             1
Sweden                            18
United Kingdom                     3
United States                      3
Other                              5


MaxMind has some numbers on their own accuracy:

For Denmark 85% is "Correctly Resolved", for Sweden only 68%. I wonder if this really could bias the result so much.

If the numbers are correct why would the Swedish read the Danish Wikipedia so much? Bots? It does not apply the other way around: Only 2% of the traffic to Swedish Wikipedia comes from Denmark.



best regards
Finn

Hey all!

We've released a highly-aggregated dataset of readership data -
specifically, data about where, geographically, traffic to each of our
projects (and all of our projects) comes from. The data can be found
at http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1317408 - additionally, I've
put together an exploration tool for it at
https://ironholds.shinyapps.io/WhereInTheWorldIsWikipedia/

Hope it's useful to people!
