Finn, thanks for your attentiveness. Figure 'Sigma total edits' (top left cell) was copied from an earlier calculation, unlike the other totals, which were calculated while building this table. But unlike this table the other table did not calculate monthly totals for months where a major language (in casu English) was not yet processed. See http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediaZZ.htm and you get my point.
So to be precise: 'Sigma total edits' is actually 'Sigma total edits for all languages for which counts are available'. Fixed report is online. Someday we will have figures for the English Wikipedia, fingers crossed :) Cheers, Erik > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:wiki- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Finn Aarup Nielsen > Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 13:12 > To: Research into Wikimedia content and communities > Subject: Re: [Wiki-research-l] "Regular contributor" > > > > Dear Erik, > > > On Wed, 22 Oct 2008, Erik Zachte wrote: > > > [...] > > > > For instance in eo: 54% of total edits for all time were bot edits, > but most > > of these will be from recent years, so the percentage will be even > higher > > for recent years. > > > > http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/BotActivityMatrix.htm > > Interesting! > > I wonder why there is a discrepancy between the summary for the total > number.
