Hi Pine, My response is not directly related to editor contributions to Japanese Wikipedia but you may still be interested to know:
We are aiming to learn more about Japanese Wikipedia readers (aim = we're interested, we asked a member of the Japanese Wikipedia community to help us translate the survey and other documentation to Japanese). You can follow the task at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T151835 This is a follow up on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Characterizing_Wikipedia_Reader_Behaviour to assess whether the results of that study holds true across languages. The other languages we're considering are Spanish, Hindi, and maybe Arabic (the list of languages is not fixed at this moment, but we do have translations for Spanish and Hindi ready as well). Anyhow, follow up the task if you're interested to keep track of it. :) Best, Leila On Thu, Dec 15, 2016 at 12:22 PM, Pine W <wiki.p...@gmail.com> wrote: > The topic of audiences was discussed at today's WMF Metrics and > Activities meeting. > > Looking at https://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/Sitemap.htm, and sorting by > editors (5+ per million speakers), there are some language communities > that appear to have high participation rates on their language's > edition of Wikipedia, but I hear very little from them in meta > discussions.
