[Wikimedia-l] Research:Anatomy of English Wikipedia Did You Know traffic

[Laura Hale]

Hi,

I posted research about the factors that may impact English Wikipedia Did
You Know article traffic on the day.   Because the research is a bit long,
a copy of it can be found at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Anatomy_of_English_Wikipedia_Did_You_Know_traffic

Summary: This research examines the traffic of 544 English Wikipedia Did
You Knows to try to determine which variables play a role in the
determining the number of page views an article will get on the day. It
largely concludes that the number of dependent and independent variables
make it to difficult to isolate specific reasons why one type of article
performs better than another, though there are some general time and topics
that will likely result in greater views.

Any feedback is appreciated either here, on the research talk page or
privately.

Sincerely,
Laura Hale
