Er. That's not true, I don't think. See the notes at http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-raw/ - wkimedia mobile pageviews are counted, just in a distinct way, because webstatscollector (the software that powers page-by-page-PV-collection) looks primarily at aggregating the entire URLs.

Good to hear. I note that according to the Wikimedia Report Card that
total pageviews are holding fairly steady even as Comscore reports a
decline in unique visitors. If pageviews are holding steady despite the
reuse of Wikipedia article summaries in search engines, I think this is
a net positive. If we have more confidence in the pageview data than in
the Comscore data then I am inclined to believe that the net situation
is significantly better than what the Comscore data alone would suggest.

            Dario and company,

            I heard a portion of the discussion during the September
            metrics meeting about Comscore saying that Wikimedia
            globally has a significant decline in unique visitors but
            this does not take into account mobile users.

            I thought that Wikimedia was developing an internal way of
            measuring unique visitors and was using Comscore data mainly
            to validate the internal data.

            Can you give an update on what the internal data shows about
            global uniques?
