User:Dragons flight/Log analysis

Due to technical difficulties, Wikimedia's internal statistics for the English Wikipedia have not been compiled since October 2006. In order to partially fill that gap, I have compiled an independent analysis based on Wikipedia's log files and downloading the edit histories for a substantial fraction of Wikipedia's articles (118793 articles, ~6% of all articles).

The results of this analysis are summarized below. The most surprising result is that the activity of the Wikipedia community appears to have been declining during the last six months. Where relevant, I have scaled the number of articles to show what would be expected from the full 2 million articles on Wikipedia. Dragons flight 22:07, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
