Dear Dan,

thanks for this information. I looked at it the new data. Are these data
also available per subject or only aggregated for the entire site? I am
mainly interested in statistics about specific pages in Wikipedia.
For now the traditional measurements are sufficient. I.e. I assume spider
traffic is sort of random on a daily basis, and because I will do
timeseries analysis, this will have little affect on the findings
.
On a similar topic, when a user is logged in to perform edits to a page and
he refreshes the wikipedia-page, does this register as a visit? Or do only
not loggedon visits register as a visit?

To conclude, I think Wikipedia data are very nteresting for scientific
study. I've seen some studies in information science, but in my field -
Communicatoin science - very little. I hope to change that with my
contribution :-)

Again thanks Dan,
Maurice
