We are aware that Wikipedia does not track user sessions. There may be survey/poll companies that have surveyed people about their usage and their time spent on Wikipedia.
Curious, where are there reports that can shed some light on this?
Thank you!

I was wondering this also. Are there any good measures of session duration or dwell time on a single page?

Wonderful. Is there anything similar for reader sessions?

Good question. Not that I know of.
The closest thing that I know about is this work:
Robert West, Ingmar Weber, and Carlos Castillo. 2012. Drawing a data-driven portrait of Wikipedia editors. WikiSym '12. ACM, New York, NY, USA, , Article 3 , 10 pages. DOI: 10.1145/2462932.2462937 http://www.wikisym.org/ws2012/p1wikisym2012.pdf
It was done using a browser toolbar to correlate Wikipedian editing patterns with other browsing behavior.

that's correct, we have no reader time-on-site data, partly because of technical reasons, partly because this fell in a gray zone of our privacy policy. The new privacy policy should give us a framework to handle this data.

Given the large number of visitors, http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/wikipedia.org is not as likely to be completely inaccurate as some lesser visited sites. It estimates the average visitor spends 4:36 minutes a day on the site and views 3.71 pages.

I found this report: http://www.pewinternet.org/Reports/2011/Wikipedia/Report.aspx and http://mashable.com/2010/02/16/facebook-nielsen-stats/
Both are outdated. :-( Curious to find current versions of these reports. Any suggestions?
