Hi Jodi,
This page gives you the number of days in which each 10M edits were made.

This page is particularly helpful in looking at the variation of edit
number by time.

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. "
