(I tried to post this question before but was not properly registered for the mailing list. If this is a repeat I apologize.)

I am in need of some guidance on how to get some data out of the query service. I signed up for an account, but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to create an "issue" or if there is some other process I should follow. I'm also not sure if the query service is right way to go about this.

In short, as part of a graduate research project, I need to select about 100 articles in Wikipedia, find the most frequent editors (there is a "contributors" tool which ranks them) such as those with more than 10 edits to the article and then for each of these editors generate a list of all pages they have edited with a frequency count for each.

Does this sound like the query service is the right way to go about collecting this data and if so can someone point me to the proper procedure for making such a request?

Thanks.
