Hi Caitlin,
Here is a breakdown of categories within Phytopathology on English wikipedia:

and the articles within those categories ranked by page view for Oct 2015 :

I can run similar reports for earlier months.
Cheers,

Hi Caitlin,
If you have a list of relevant articles and understanding what time period you would like
to research, contact me of the list and I probably can help you.
Also my advise: have a look at
wikipediatrends.com or stats.grok.se and try some of your
queries to get a better undestanding of possible results.
Best wishes,

Hi All,
I am a summer research intern with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research
Organisation (CSIRO) in Australia. I am studying a statistics degree and so I don’t really
have skills in the type of data collection required to access the Wiki data for my
research. I was wondering if someone might be able to give me a hand (by pointing me in
the right direction)?
I have a list of pest species that I wish to find the total number of page views via
stats.grok.se or
https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-raw/ . There must be a good
method to go through and pick out page views by name rather than by hand (which obviously
isn’t feasible)? I’d also need to be able to find the total number of page views for each
period in order to standardize the response to account for the increase in traffic over
the years.
We are in the process of gathering similar data through a Plant Pest database but due to
privacy concerns, the organisation is arranging to reconcile the data on our behalf and so
I do not have a part in that.
Any help would be really appreciated!
Kind regards,
Caitlin Gardner
