Readership statistics for WPCoS

edit

I knocked this up using the Wikipedia 1.0 assessment list as of 18 May 2009 and an average of the readership stats Henrik's excellent gizmo for the first four months of 2009.

I've tried to clean up the latter as far as I could, removing "obvious" spikes such as WP:DYKed articles - Clan Schaw (4/Feb), Stand-off at the Fords of Arkaig (21/Apr) and Battle of Lochaber (26/Apr) plus apparently related spikes in Battle of Drumlui (21/Apr) and Alexander of Islay, Earl of Ross (26/Apr). There's also spikes derived from appearances in the "On this day...." section of the front page, Massacre of Glencoe and Clan MacDonald of Glencoe on 13/Feb and Tartan Day (6/Apr) demonstrate this clearly. There's also random ones - Kilt spiked on 17/18 March, it obviously was mentioned somewhere. I've deducted the one-off spikes from the numbers below, and averaged the OTD spikes over the whole year.

Another problem comes from new articles that haven't really had time to build up a history, in particular there was a bunch of Maclean chiefs created at the beginning of March and some Napiers at the end of April. I've guesstimated them for the time being - most are never going to be big draws. However, these numbers do include redirects so page moves are catered for automatically.

I know it's not perfect, but I thought it might be a useful thing to have for working out priorities in the Project, as judged by what the readers "want". But what do they know? :-))) Le Deluge (talk) 16:04, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
