Thanks for sharing this.

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.
