Re: [Wiki-research-l] How to collect all the admin-specific edits for a subset of Wp admins
Have you tried to use Api Sandbox? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox You can, by example, query the admins actions by setting up a query on "list=logevents" and then specify various parameters. It's an easy and powerful tool. *--* *Haitham* On Thu, Oct 10, 2013 at 4:10 AM, Jérémie Roquet wrote: > Hi, > > 2013/10/10 Jérôme Hergueux : > > Here is the question: for a each of 120 Wikipedia admins (for whom I have > > the usernames and unique numeric ids), I would like to reliably count the > > number of times they (i) deleted a page (ii) undeleted (i.e. restored) a > > page (iii) protected a page (iv) blocked a user and (v) unblocked a user. > > Those types of edits all correspond to a specific "action" in the > Wikipedia > > API documentation page (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php): > action=delete, > > action=undelete, action=protect, action=block and action=unblock. > > I don't know, however, what would be the best strategy to go about > > collecting those edits.

Re: [Wiki-research-l] What's the average number of edits per day on English Wikipedia?
Hi Jodi, This page gives you the number of days in which each 10M edits were made. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Katalaveno/TBE This page is particularly helpful in looking at the variation of edit number by time. *--* *Haitham Shammaa* *Contribution Research Manager* *Wikimedia Foundation* *Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. * *Click the "edit" button now, and help us make it a reality!* On Tue, May 7, 2013 at 10:22 AM, Jodi Schneider wrote: > What's the average number of edits per day on English Wikipedia? > > This is to frame my dissertation research -- I haven't found "edits per > day" in the stats I've looked at [1][2]. > > -Jodi > > [1] http://toolserver.org/~emijrp/wikimediacounter/ > [2] http://s23.org/wikistats/wikipedias_html.php > > > > PS: There are other measures of work and importance I've collected. > > From the (highly recommended!)

I'm not aware of any research on WP or commons images, but these two articles use Wikipedia to improve image classification. http://scripties.let.eldoc.ub.rug.nl/FILES/root/Master/DoorstroomMasters/Informatiekunde/2011/KramerG./ma-1588184-G._Kramer.pdf http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-642-23866-6_23?LI=true *--* *Haitham* On Mon, Apr 29, 2013 at 3:08 AM, Heather Ford wrote: > Does anyone know of research on images on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons? > > Thanks in advance! > > Best, > heather. > > Heather Ford > Oxford Internet Institute Doctoral Programme > www.ethnographymatters.net > @hfordsa on Twitter > http://hblog.org > > ___ > Wiki-research-l mailing list > Wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l > > ___ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
Re: [Wiki-research-l] # of searches where WP is the first hit?
Alexa gives some info on clickstream, but regardless of the search result order (e.g. 23.54% from google). It also gives where visitors go on Wikipedia.org, which is helpful to get information about language breakdown (58%:En, 7.5:De) http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/wikipedia.org Hope this is helpfuI, although it`s not perfectly what you are looking for.

Re: [Wiki-research-l] PT-WP page view spike
This is a sort of a frequently occurring phenomena. One recent examples from the english Wikipedia : http://stats.grok.se/en/latest90/Help:Contents/Resources_and_lists http://stats.grok.se/en/latest90/Help:Contents/Resources_and_lists http://stats.grok.se/en/latest90/Help:Contents/Communication http://stats.grok.se/en/latest90/Help:Contents/Browsing_Wikipedia If we excluded the possibility of failure during data acquisition or data processing, it is very hard to predict the exact reasons, specially on large Wikimedia projects due to the high complexity of the site structure, and the continues changes taking place on it. One of the general reasons for this could be adding a link at a highly accessed page (e.g. main page, welcome template, mediawiki page .. etc) or making the existing links more visible or emphasized, and then reverting these change after a few days.
