Hi,
Thank you Jakob for added me on this page http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research, I will try to get some information on it. Normally I will finish the redaction of the first and little part of my work till middle february. Mainly in french but I will translate it in English too.
Thank also for the link download.mediawiki.org, I take (firstly) the french Wikipedia, cause 80G whoa !! I understand now why France is a little bit in late for the IT society :/
But I have still a problem. Ok I have the articles and all history of them in the database, but I don't see the "User:" pages. Maybe it's not the same with en.wikipedia. Does it really contains the user pages? If this is not the case, can we have access to these datas without being connected?
One more time ... thank you for your enthousiasm.

Well at least the cur_table contains the User pages. I currently do not work on the history dump because its too huge for my PC and wikistat gives you a lot of information - if only someone could make
http://www.wikipedia.org/wikistats/csv/
readable again - Erik said the data is on the server, but the directory is protected (?)
Well our developers have other things to do at the moment. A big thank you for the heavy work they are doing - I can imagine everybody is only complaining at the moment.
Jakob

Stab in the dark, here, but are you looking directly at the database, and wondering why none of the article names begin "User:" (or "Utilisateur:" or whatever it is in French)? If so, the answer is because they're not called that. ;) The database has a cur_namespace field, which represents the namespace of each article numerically - so my User page would have cur_title='IMSoP' AND cur_namespace=2. See Defines.php[1] for how the numeric namespaces match up to the prefixes that you, I, and the software recognise as though they were part of the title.
