Thank you so much for looking into this. 

I am going to use mw package and see why my xml decoding is not producing this result.

Best,

Behzad, 

I just ran a quick script to check the count and it comes out as expected.  Here's the call. 

$ bzcat <snip>/enwiki-20140707-pages-meta-history5.xml-p000183366p000184999.bz2 | python count_revs.py 

183366 Dude Ranch (album) 854

183369 Scrambling 149

183370 Home cinema 821

183371 Hamilton Hume 184

183372 Gertrude Gadwall 13

183373 Critical chain project management 286

183375 Luke The Goose 6

183376 George Robertson, Baron Robertson of Port Ellen 350

183378 Lord Robertson 9

183379 List of rivers of Nova Scotia 120

183380 Scottish whisky 1

183381 Louis XV 1

183382 Talk:List of artists who died of drug-related causes 16

^C

Here's what count_revs.py looks like:

"""

Counts the revisions per page in an XML dump and prints a nice format

"""

import sys

from mw import xml_dump

dump = xml_dump.Iterator.from_file(sys.stdin)

for page in dump:

revisions = sum(1 for revision in page)

print(page.id, page.title, revisions)

> I am new to working with Wikipedia dumps. I am trying to obtain full revision history of all the articles on Wikipedia. I downloaded enwiki-20140707-pages-meta-history1.xml-*.7z from https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20140707/. However, by looking at the xml files revision history of individual articles do not match with revision history one may see from history page on Wikipedia website. It seems the dump contains significantly smaller number of revisions than what can be found on Wikipedia.

This may be a decent place to ask (actually I don't read this list too much so just guessing) but probably more relevant at xmldatadumps-l@lists.wikimedia.org . FYI
