Erik,
That's interesting, because my username is not in your list. My username is Jane023 and my mobile uploads are done by jane023. I noticed in your list that cases where the only capital letter is the first one (such as in my username) are not counted. Perhaps this could be the reason? I would expect most usernames only to have the first letter capitalized.

Hi Jane,


Thanks for your suggestion. Name in mediawiki and my script is case sensitive.

So I  just checked how many names would collide if compared case insensitive.

Out of 475,318 names of users who contributed at namespace 6 at least once,
572 occurred more than once if counted case insensitive.

 

See http://tinyurl.com/9oxxwu6

 

The extra number of users is somewhere 2000+ such this seems not to be it.

I don't know your user name, but you can check for yourself if it occurs in above file.

 

Cheers,

Erik

Subject: Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] Uploader stats

 

Great stats Erik, and I agree with Lodewijk that we seem to have lots of returnees!

It is very puzzling about the increased activity of non-WLM uploaders. Of course there is a lot going on behind the scenes at Wiki Commons with categorization and id-checking and so on, but I feel that the vast majority of volunteers on Commons and other projects are also uploading photos themselves (like me).

 

It's just a thought, but I noticed that when I uploaded with my mobile phone, that my username was all in lowercase. I hope the usernames are not counted in a case-sensitive manner. Could this be a reason?

Erik sent it from start with a copy to the mailing list :-) but indeed, I selected ''reply to all'', strange he didn't send a copy to him...

Hi Erik,

Thanks for sharing that. I know tomasz plan to share also mobile upload stats that could be interesting...

Take into consideration that in Israel people still uploading photos until the 15th. It's not thousands of photos per day, but still can effect the finall number a little...

First congrats for the overall success of WLM 2012, and also for the awesome stats at http://toolserver.org/~emijrp/wlm/stats.php

 

Here are some extra stats about uploaders, with focus on new vs experienced contributors:

These data are provisional, while we vet input further (last chart seems to indicate there is still some anomaly), see at '==>'

 

This chart shows how the three WLM event lead to increasingly large peaks in new editors (on any project).

Same chart with logarithmic  y axis. This shows that numbers of old hands contributing to WLM is non-negligible.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WLM_uploaders_2010-2012_log.png

 

For completeness sake, similar linear and log charts where only WLM 2012 is taken into account.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WLM_uploaders_2012_linear.png

Following bar chart shows experienced vs new uploaders to each WLM event.

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WLM_uploaders_2010-2012_bar_chart_corrected.png

 

Last chart is similar as first chart, now with remaining Commons contributors to namespace 6 plotted as second line.

Surprisingly there is still a big leap in non WLM editors in Sep 2012

==> (hmmm, seems too coincidental, are we missing WML participants ?, in other words should some users still move from red to blue line ?)

 

Also updated is monthly Wikistats report:

http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikispecial/EN/TablesWikipediaCOMMONS.htm

Note that there was no time after closure of month to produce and process full archive dump. That will happen in coming week, and  overall article counts and too much lesser degree editor activity counts will drop a few percent, but it should not affect uploader counts.  (reason: for stub dump we cannot apply all official criteria for proper articles, as page content is not available: no check for internal or category link).

 

Also noteworthy: you can see which people are most active on the mailing list: http://www.infodisiac.com/Wikipedia/ScanMail/WikiLovesMonuments.html

Some more details:

 

Each year I get a list of user names of people who contribute to WLM.

In 2010 the list contained 201 names, in 2011 there were 5462 names and this year 14994.

That is 25 less than the 15019 mentioned on http://toolserver.org/~emijrp/wlm/stats.php

 

I found edits for 14737 out of the list of 14994 that was provided, that may need further scrutiny (maybe some unicode names got mixed up)

 

Platonides:

If we restrict to valid submissions:

> time sql commonswiki_p "SELECT DISTINCT user_name FROM u_platonides_wlm_p.wlm2012 JOIN user ON (user_id=wlm_author) WHERE wlm_source = 'commons' AND wlm_status='Participating';" > wlmParticipatingUsernames.txt
