On a technical note: we should revisit the idea of backfilling old data into AQS so people can do this type of research project on top of the pageview API, now that stats.grok is completely down.

I would love to have historical pageview data through the pageview API, and I know many other researchers and educators who would appreciate this addition immensely. I'd be happy to help with publicizing/championing this change; let me know if I can help in any way.

For the record/archive: The link is http://stats.grok.se/ but the tool is no longer maintained, it seems (internal server error when entering an article name). 

Interesting nonetheless.

+ Juliet, as this is something Communications may want to follow up given that stats.groke.se is not maintained by a Wikimedia Foundation member.

Thanks for sharing this.

Saw this on reddit:


From the paper:

"This case study uses data on English language Wikipedia article view counts from the online service stats.grok.se, a portal maintained by a Wikimedia Foundation member. This portal provides access to a range of Wikipedia analytics, stats, and data.86 In particular, the portal aggregates Wikipedia article view data on a daily and monthly basis.87 This data at stats.grok.se has been used in a range of research, including studies involving market trends, health information access, and social-political change.88”

Just thought it might be of interest, especially considering WMF’s NSA lawsuit.
