Dear Dan,
thanks for this information. I looked at it the new data. Are these data
also available per subject or only aggregated for the entire site? I am
mainly interested in statistics about specific pages in Wikipedia.
For now the traditional measurements are sufficient. I.e. I assume spider
traffic is sort of random on a daily basis, and because I will do
timeseries analysis, this will have little affect on the findings
.
On a similar topic, when a user is logged in to perform edits to a page and
he refreshes the wikipedia-page, does this register as a visit? Or do only
not loggedon visits register as a visit?
To conclude, I think Wikipedia data are very nteresting for scientific
study. I've seen some studies in information science, but in my field -
Communicatoin science - very little. I hope to change that with my
contribution :-)
Again thanks Dan,
Maurice

Maurice, if you're looking for recent data, we
have a better source:
dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pageviews/
This is better than pagecounts-raw because it excludes spider (crawler)
traffic, some other automata traffic, and includes mobile traffic. We have
been slow to announce this and change the pages because it's a confusing
change.

Dear Federico Leva,
thank you very much for the clarification and the quick reply.
Because I want to relate the pagecounts to events taking place in the
Netherlands (e.g televised political debates), knowing what the timezone is
is important.
Again thanks and best regards
Maurice Vergeer

I am looking at your pagecounts as archived on
https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-raw/2015/2015-12/
Can you tell me from what timezone the time stamps originate?
Any and all timestamps in
dumps.wikimedia.org are in UTC. Apparently
this is not as obvious as generally thought, so I've added a note:
