I'll add another note to this "article view" discussion:
I have parsed the hourly, per-page statistics at [http://dammit.lt/wikistats/]. If one assumes uniform intra-hour distributions, this makes it possible to arrive at highly accurate view estimates for arbitrary pages, for arbitrary time intervals.
I have found this useful to measure how many people saw a particular revision and used this heavily in my anti-vandalism research.
I believe this is the same data source all these other services are using -- but I don't do any aggregation. I've got data for all of 2010 for en.wiki (some 400+GB). I'd imagine this volume of parsing and storage isn't something all Wiki researchers are capable of.
So, while I'm yet to develop this into a formal public-facing API -- I'd be willing to run queries for interested researchers -- and they should feel free to contact me.
Thanks, -Andrew G. West

Hi, Felipe,
these tools are really useful!
I like much the "Wikipedia Page History Statistics" too: http://vs.aka-online.de/cgi-bin/wppagehiststat.pl
Here in Brazil I've developed (with a computer science student) a tool that extracs other interesting data from pages history, like number of protections and duration of time of each, number of revertions and editions undone, number anda percentage of editions made by administrators, bots and IP etc.
Unfortunately it works only in portuguese Wikipedia, but we are very interessed in open the code e make it better.
BTW, as it's my first mensage here, let me present myself: I'm journalist, teacher in Federal University of Viçosa and PHD student in Applied Linguistics in Minas Gerais Federal University. In summary, I'm studing the editorial process of "Biographies of living persons" in portuguese Wikipedia.
Best,

Hi all. I just discovered this, it may be potentially interesting for the Wikipedia research community. In short, now for any Wikipedia page, not only articles, e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_free_and_open_source_software You can access, from the corresponding "View history" page: * Nice stats (via soxred93 tool in Toolserver) : http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/articleinfo/index.php?article=History_of_Free_Software <http://toolserver.org/%7Esoxred93/articleinfo/index.php?article=History_of_Free_Software>〈=en&wiki=wikipedia * Ranked contributors (Daniel's tool in Toolserver): http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/Contributors.php?wikilang=en&wikifam=.wikipedia.org&grouped=on&page=History_of_Free_Software <http://toolserver.org/%7Edaniel/WikiSense/Contributors.php?wikilang=en&wikifam=.wikipedia.org&grouped=on&page=History_of_Free_Software> * Revision history search (WikiBlame): http://wikipedia.ramselehof.de/wikiblame.php?lang=en&article=History_of_Free_Software <http://wikipedia.ramselehof.de/wikiblame.php?lang=en&article=History_of_Free_Software> * Page view statistics: http://stats.grok.se/en/201101/History_of_Free_Software And... incredible: * Number of watchers (!!!) (mzmcbride tool in Toolserver): http://toolserver.org/~mzmcbride/cgi-bin/watcher.py?db=enwiki_p&titles=History_of_Free_Software <http://toolserver.org/%7Emzmcbride/cgi-bin/watcher.py?db=enwiki_p&titles=History_of_Free_Software> I don't know when (exactly) these services were activated. I've also found some (still inactive) "API" links. Anybody has any further info about this?
