Hi Sundar,
Yes, it counts all new accounts. And the fact that some accounts are automatically created could be one of the reasons why some languages have a high percentage of accounts that are never used for editing.

Thanks a lot for pulling up the data so fast, Frank. So, it appears that, Tamil Wiki has a similar percentage as the Hindi Wiki.
Just wanted a minor clarification: does this take the automatically-created global accounts into account?

Hi All,
I just gathered the data for the Tamil Wikipedia:
- In August 2010, 807 people created a new user account on the Tamil
Wikipedia. That's an average of 26 new user accounts per day.
- Out of these 807 new user accounts, 82 have made an edit within the
first 10 days after account creation (about 10%).
- Between August 1 and 15, 30 new accounts have been used for editing
on the day of account creation -- that's 87%.
To compare these numbers to the other Wikipedia language versions, please visit
http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Account_Creation_Improvement_Project
Starting in October, we will brainstorm ways to increase the number of users who start contributing after they've created a user account. We won't be able to do that without the support of the local communities. So, if you're interested in the above project and would like to help, please sign up as an ambassador for your language version:

Please let me know if you have further questions.
Thanks,
Frank
