Hi Samuel,

 

I can only partially answer your questions, but maybe colleagues can add to this.

 

==Page views==

 

Not exactly what you ask, but we do publish monthly update stats on pageviews per country and per language

 

This report shows how many page views we received in Dec 2016 per country (for any Wikipedia language)

https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageViewsPerCountryOverview.htm

 

There are further breakdowns,

 

One that shows which Wikipedia language received which percentage of views from a given country, in other words which Wikipedia was most visited from Ivory Coast (French 82.4%)

https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageViewsPerCountryBreakdown.htm

 

One that shows per Wikipedia the distribution per country, in other words how many pageviews to say French Wikipedia came from Cote d'Ivoire (0.5%)

https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageViewsPerLanguageBreakdown.htm

 

==Edits, unique IP==

 

We don't yet publish edit counts of unique IP addresses per country as far as I know (because of privacy issues on small wikis).

Maybe a colleague knows whether we already maintain an overall count for all African countries put together?

 

==Topics==

 

I'll think about topics coverage. We could mine the category system, but anomalous cross links make that non trivial.

 

Cheers,

Erik

Subject: Figures regarding African topics coverage

 

Hello Erik,

My name is Samuel Guebo and I am a board member of the Wikimedia User Group of Côte d'Ivoire.

 

I am preparing a blog post and I need recent figures regarding coverage of African topics on Wikipedia. For example, what is the estimated number of articles related to Africa? How many individuals edit with an IP coming from Africa? I already read the WikiProject Africa figures and also the Information Imbalance: Africa on Wikipedia study but need more acurate and up-to-date figures.

 

I Cc'ed Isla Haddow-Flood from Wikimedia South-Africa as she is both actively contributing to the WikiProject Africa and interested in these figures.

 

Cheers,
