Hi Dan,
Thanks for your response.
I have carefully checked all the links that you shared with me and it looks
like the monthly edits are what should work the best to calibrate the
supply side of my model. With regards to the granularity of data per
country and language, it is absolutely fine if only the projects and
languages with largest shares are listed, whereas all others are stockpiled
in the "Other" category. Here are some good examples that display outdated
aggregate data on edits:
*

*
https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageEditsPerCountry…
*
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Edits_by_project_and_country_of_origin
In fact, my ultimate research goal is to calculate how much free knowledge
on the Wikimedia projects is lost across countries in the Global South and
Global North because of socio-economic and institutional factors that leave
people with no access to the Wikimedia projects (page views per
country/language are a perfect proxy on the demand side; in the same way,
edits per country/language should be a perfect metric on the supply side).
Thanks.
Best regards,
Kiril

Hi Kiril,
We have editors by country here:
https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/geoeditors/readme.html and visualized
here:
https://stats.wikimedia.org/#/en.wikipedia.org/contributing/active-editors-…
And we do have edits by country and language but we don't publish it
except to the Global Innovation Index folks who publish a yearly report.
The internal table is described here:

Can you take a look at the editors by country and let me know if the edits
monthly table and data would be more useful? What we could publish
externally would be more limited, without some of the smaller projects (I
forget exactly the cut-offs and sanitization that happens).

Dear members of the Analytics Team,
I am currently conducting research about the excludability of free
knowledge available on the Wikimedia projects as an example of a public
good. In order to calibrate the model, I need aggregate data on the page
views and edits by country and language.
After having carefully read Research:Data
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Data>, I was only able to find
data on page views by country and language, which would be enough to
calibrate the demand side of my model. So, is it possible to get aggregate
data on edits by country and language, which are similar to those on page
views available at WikiStats?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Kiril Simeonovski
