Erik,
Thanks a lot for the appreciation.
As Sajjad mentioned, we have already obtained a edit-per-location dataset from Evan (Rosen) that has the following column structure:
*language,country,city,start,end,fraction,ts*
*start* and *end* denote the beginning and ending date for counting the number of edits, and *ts* is time stamp.
The *fraction*, however, gives a national ratio of edit activity, that is it gives the ratio of 'total edits from that city for that language Wikipedia project' divided 'total edits from that country for that language Wikipedia project'. Hence, it cannot be used to understand global edit contributions to a Wikipedia project (for a time period).
It seems that the original data (from where this dataset is extracted) should also have the global fractions -- total edit from a city divided by total edit from the whole world, for a project, for a time period.
Would you know if the global fractions can also be derived from the XML dumps? Or, even better, is the relevant raw data available in CSV form somewhere else?
Bests,
sumandro

Awesome work! I like the flexibility of the charts, easy to switch metrics and presentation mode.
- WMF has never captured ip->geo data on city level, but afaik this is
going to change with Kraken.
- Total edits per article per year can be derived from the xml dumps. I may
have some csv data that come in handy.
For edit wars you need track reverts on an per article basis, right? That can also be derived from dumps.
For long history you need full archive dumps and need to calc checksum per revision text. (stub dumps have checksum but only for last year or two)
