I'll add another note to this "article view" discussion: I have parsed the hourly, per-page statistics at [http://dammit.lt/wikistats/]. If one assumes uniform intra-hour distributions, this makes it possible to arrive at highly accurate view estimates for arbitrary pages, for arbitrary time intervals.
I have found this useful to measure how many people saw a particular revision and used this heavily in my anti-vandalism research. I believe this is the same data source all these other services are using -- but I don't do any aggregation. I've got data for all of 2010 for en.wiki (some 400+GB). I'd imagine this volume of parsing and storage isn't something all Wiki researchers are capable of. So, while I'm yet to develop this into a formal public-facing API -- I'd be willing to run queries for interested researchers -- and they should feel free to contact me. Thanks, -Andrew G.
