Michael,

Thanks! Your solution solves a different problem than I was looking for
(list of page views of each article over time per a WikiProject), but
having a comprehensive list of the pages under WikiProject_Seattle will
undoubtedly be useful as well. Heck, I am tempted to install ActivePerl on
my PC (used to have it on an earlier PC & also had access to a couple of
Macs) to write a Perl script to convert the results into a .csv file to
load it into Excel or the Libre Office equivalent.

Kudos to you & the UW iSchool.

Yours,
