[Wikitech-l] Looking for historical article views per day statistics

Dear wikitechnicians,

I'm looking for historical statistics on article views per day on the English Wikipedia. I've spent a good bit of time wading around Wikipedia and Wikimedia but have begun to feel like I'm going in circles.

I have located:

http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesUsagePageRequest.htm

which is pretty ideal but is missing data from November 2005 to present.

I have also located:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Awareness_statistics

which contains a "page views per million" statistic which has the necessary long-term reach but includes all Wikipedia traffic and is relative to a somewhat mysteriously selected user sample.

I would be very appreciative of suggestions or pointers to information. This will inform ongoing research here at the University of Minnesota.

Many thanks,

Reid
