Bug ID: 54650
Summary: GeoIP updates can users to jump to new country in
geowiki files
Product: Analytics
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized

Editors get geocoded again and again for each day they are
considered active.
So if the GeoIP gets updated, active editors with jump to a
different country from one day to the next.
So consider I edit 5 pages on enwiki on 2013-08-10 using an IP
address that's associated to Italy at that point in time.
On 2013-08-29 the IP->Country database gets updated, and that
previous IP is now marked as United States.
The scripts would count me active for United States from that day
on.
