I'm still not clear why we would want to know
the IP exactly for
analytical
purposes. Some intrepid programmer could write a
program which would
simply collect detailed analysis of a person's in-world behaviour and
call
them
"Bob992" instead of 13.42.204.192 or
whatever. Making the information
packets anonymous. That would still allow any sort of analysis the
Tatars want
to
make, and not reveal any private information.
i just has not thought about that as threat. theoretically ip
addresses can be used to count how much wikipedia readers are in
russia regions. such statistics is made by russian counters:
liveinternet, and maybe, mail.ru . but i do not know whether any tatar
can get such database to make such counter for wikipedia logs.
probably some russian companies can make such analysis for russian and
tatar and other wikipedias of languages of russia.
the Tatars want to make
on the one hand, i
do not represent [all] tatars, and on the one hand,
i think i represent also other language native speakers.
The sampled 1/1000 squid logs can be used for statistical purposes, such as
page view stats. Someone more techy can answer that better than I can, if
the samples include IP addresses that could be used w/ geoip for geographic
analysis. (I think perhaps not)
Here are the page view stats generated from the squid sample logs:

For other analysis of readership, we do get stats from comScore, but that's
survey data from panelists and nothing to do with logs.
