bots and anonymous edits) in 2013 to date is 127K. (data from the

What's the average number of edits per day on English Wikipedia?
This is to frame my dissertation research -- I haven't found "edits per
day" in the stats I've looked at [1][2].

PS: There are other measures of work and importance I've collected.
From the (highly recommended!) "edit sessions" paper, I get ~14,000 hours
per day [3].
Alexa & Pew provide good popularity measures [4,5], and there is of
course article count (4.2 million!).

Using the ballpark 425,000 hours/month (for 2012, English Wikipedia). Wow!
[4] Alexa:
wikipedia.org is the world's 6th most popular website, 58.11%
of traffic to English Wikipedia.

[5] Pew: 53% of American Internet users look for info in Wikipedia (as of
May 2010). "The percentage of all American adults who use Wikipedia to
look for information has increased from 25% in February 2007 to 42% in May
2010. This translates to 53% of adult internet users. "
