Re: [Wiki-research-l] What's the average number of edits per day on English Wikipedia?

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]. -Jodi [1] http://toolserver.org/~emijrp/wikimediacounter/ [2] http://s23.org/wikistats/wikipedias_html.php 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!). [3] R. Stuart Geiger and Aaron Halfaker. 2013. Using edit sessions to measure participation in Wikipedia. DOI=10.1145/2441776.2441873 http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~halfak/publications/Using_Edit_Sessions_to_Mea… 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. http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/wikipedia.org [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.
