I wanted to conduct a longitudinal analysis so having data going back in time up to the first day of wikipedia would be totally awesome! Even at time windows of one year would be enough. And it would be great to have them for different wikipedias (en, de, it, ...)
Why can't you just use the latest full dump? Each dump contains the full history of all articles. Do you need to gather data on deleted articles or something?
