If you want it going back that far, I'm afraid the stats.grok.se style data is all there is :(. The new API only covers the last few months thus far.

I then also want a total number of page views to standardise the individual page views.

I have looked at stats.gronk.se and wikitrends and I have two issues:

1. The data is only month by month and I want as many years of data as possible.
2. Some pages have too few page views for wikitrends.

Thanks for your help!

Interesting country breakdown!

...

For the top three, I looked at how pageviews developed on a daily basis during the last three month including the week after this large change (until Dec 6):

In Greece, the +21.6% rise was the result of an isolated spike from November 23-25. This can be traced to a single page on the Greek Wiktionary which on most days before and after only saw a single-digit number of pageviews, but on these three days received more than 2.8 million: τάλε κουάλε https://el.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CF%84%CE%AC%CE%BB%CE%B5_%CE%BA%CE%BF%CF%85%CE%AC%CE%BB%CE%B5. It’s about an expression that apparently comes from Latin via Italian (“tale quale”) https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/tale_e_qualeand means something like “exactly the same” or “spitting image”. From the form of the spike, it was likely not the result of actual human interest, rather an undetected bot trying to learn exactly the same about exactly the same.

In Ireland, the -20.6% drop marked the end of a plateau whose start had actually shown up in the report for the week until November 1 https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mobile-l/2015-November/009919.h tmlalready, where the country was the top changer with a 40.2% rise.

For South Africa, the -20.6% drop does not form part of a clear pattern.

Hi Caitlin,

Here is a breakdown of categories within Phytopathology on English wikipedia: http://ow.ly/VQNVL

and the articles within those categories ranked by page view for Oct 2015 : http://ow.ly/VQNCv

I can run similar reports for earlier months.

Cheers,

Erik

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
