Dear all,
Hope all is well. Does anyone know of published statistics for the number of registered editors per country? I need it for 2016, but any year close to that would suffice.
Your help is greatly appreciated, Tom
Hi Thomas,
This isn’t quite what you asked for, but the editor survey from 2018 might be helpful: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Insights/2018_Report#Looking_at_di... https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Insights/2018_Report#Looking_at_diversity_across_community_audiences
The survey responses will be skewed towards more active editors, but depending on how you want to use the information that might be OK.
Best wishes, Su-Laine

Thomas, a few additional options on top of Su-Laine's link:
2018 - present: There is now a geographic editors dataset that stretches back to 2018 and includes monthly data on editors per country: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/geoeditors/readme.html NOTE: as Nemo pointed out, there are privacy concerns centered around this data, so that data only gives you rough bins and has some filtering criteria applied: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data_Lake/Edits/Geoeditors/Pub...
2009 - 2015: There is also some quarterly data from several years ago that ends in 2015 -- e.g., https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageEditsPerCountryO... (and full list of reports: https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/) NOTE: I don't know the history of that data though and the Q2 2015 report (the last one) notes that there are inconsistencies in the data so I don't know how much to trust it. Perhaps others will know more about why this report was discontinued and what data can be trusted in it.
Best, Isaac

Dear Isaac and Su-Laine,
Thank you for your replies. I really appreciate it. Correct me if I'm wrong, these sources report the number of edits or editors, but don't break down the kind of editors (registered and non-registered) per country? I need to answer that question.
Thanks again! Tom

2018-present data: See the note under https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data_Lake/Edits/Geoeditors/Pub... -- registered and unregistered are grouped together in this data
2009-2015 data: The page indicates that "Also all ip addresses that occur more than once on a given day are discarded for that day."
I don't know of any public data sources where registered/unregistered are explicitly split out. For some countries, you could probably make some reasonable estimates by applying assumptions around which languages are most strongly associated with the country -- e.g., jawiki for Japan: https://stats.wikimedia.org/#/ja.wikipedia.org/contributing/editors/normal%7...
