Hi Aaron,
Thanks for your reply. Particular file that I worked with is
"enwiki-20140707-pages-meta-history5.xml-p000183366p000184999”
The first article appearing in this batch is "Dude Ranch (album)",
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dude_Ranch_(album)>
Total number of tags with "{http://www.mediawiki.org/xml/export-0.8/}revision"
is 20 in the dump. Wikipedia statistics show more than 900 edits with very small portion
made after 07/2014.
Best,
Behzad

Behzad,
The XML dumps should be complete and reflect the full history of pages in Wikipedia.
Could you give an example of a page from the XML dump that doesn't have the full set
of revisions?

I am new to working with Wikipedia dumps. I am
trying to obtain full revision history of all the articles on Wikipedia. I downloaded
enwiki-20140707-pages-meta-history1.xml-*.7z from
https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20140707/
<https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20140707/>. However, by looking at the xml files
revision history of individual articles do not match with revision history one may see
from history page on Wikipedia website. It seems the dump contains significantly smaller
number of revisions than what can be found on Wikipedia.
This may be a decent place to ask (actually I don't read this list too much so just
guessing) but probably more relevant at xmldatadumps-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org
