Hi Piotr,

I've prepared the statements and could start running them tonight.
Right now I'm in the train home...

    Dear all,

    I am trying to gather some data for a new paper, but I wonder if there
    is a more efficient way of doing so than by using Wikipedia Special:Contribs
    I have a list of editors, whose edits I'd like to analyze and get
    numbers on their contributions by mainspace, and to specific groups of
    pages (such as Wikipedia:Arbitration and its subpages, for example). In
    other words, for a defined group of users, I would like to know if they
    have ever contributed to an arbitration page, and if they did, how many
    edits did they make.

    I am assuming this wouldn't be that difficult for somebody who knows how
    to run the queries on the Wikipedia database, but I have never been able
    to develop enough of a coding skill to do so. Still, if people could
    direct me to a page with instructions on how to run a database query,
    perhaps I can try to learn. THat is, if they have been made more non-CS

    person friendly, as two or so years ago when I last research this topic
    they were, IMHO, still beyond the means of a non-coder to deal with.

    Alternatively, I can consider paying someone to run a number of such
    queries for me, since I now even have a real research budget :)
