Behzad,

The XML dumps should be complete and reflect the full history of pages in Wikipedia.  Could you give an example of a page from the XML dump that doesn't have the full set of revisions?

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
