Re: [Wikimedia-l] Lower page views

A lot of arbitrary deletions (and Western-centric approaches) seem to have disincentives some volunteers. At least I can speak for myself. My conjecture is that if even I feel the Wikipedia, thanks to its many successes, is increasingly unable to reflect the diversity of our world, why should

I will only answer for our discussions during the board meeting. This goes two fold: * we have many teams, including in tech and product, that are understaffed. Without pointing at one specifically, I raised that at work I have team I can compare to the Foundation's one, on the very same topic,

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Lower page views

Many thanks, Tillman,  for your reply and also Christophes. Your analysis shows there are factors effecting pageviews that needs a qualified analysis to get to understand the numbers . I am also happy to see that there are clever people looking into this, and I was also  very glad to see, in

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Lower page views

Hi Anders, some notes about possible reasons below. As a data analyst in the Foundation's Readers department, I am tracking our overall pageview numbers on a monthly basis, which we report to the WMF board alongside other metrics about editor activity etc. (This is also publicly available at [1],

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Lower page views

Our data is only comparable between May 2015 and Dec 2017 so: Nov/Dec/Jan 15/16 total 15.7, 14.6, 16.2 Nov/Dec/Jan 16/17 total 16.4, 15.5, 17.0 Nov/Dec/Jan 17/18 total 15.3, 14.3, 16.4 (last number an estimate) So went up from 15/16 to 16/17 and now come down in 17/18 to about were it was in
