For the first bit: Yes, the relevant table is described at <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Logging_table> and includes log_namespace. Lots of ways of slicing the data are possible, though I suggest any metric for 'niceness' is kept very simple so that it is well understood. I.e. 100 thanks messages to a user, is much easier to understand than ratios of several different things because they are there. For the last bit, here are the results: Top 10 *most thanked* users in Jan 2015: English Wikipedia: 351, Ryulong 212, Niceguyedc 151, Ssven2 119, Materialscientist 111, HJ Mitchell 100, Ser Amantio di Nicolao 89, GoingBatty 89, Drmies 87, John of Reading 79, Rocketrod1960 Wikimedia Commons: 47, Steinsplitter 44, INeverCry 44, Thibaut120094 44, 1989 37, Yann 32, Medium69 27, Be..anyone 26, Brackenheim 22, ArionEstar 21, Marcus_Cyron This was posted at https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2015-February/076737.html where you can find the report link.
