[Wikizh-l] Fwd: [Foundation-l] Wikipedias by page views

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Robert Rohde <rarohde(a)gmail.com> Date: 2008-4-1 1:35 Subject: [Foundation-l] Wikipedias by page views To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List <foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Inspired by the Wikimania thread, I decided to work out approximately how much traffic each language of Wikipedia gets. I totaled the top 1000 page views for February at http://stats.grok.se/ for each of the Wikipedia communities and arrived at the following list: Language Page views % of Total 1 English 929238291 50.32% 2 German 188053798 10.18% 3 Japanese 174055663 9.43% 4 Spanish 112874582 6.11% 5 French 76874066 4.16% 6 Italian 58002665 3.14% 7 Polish 54562647 2.95% 8 Portuguese 38395679 2.08% 9 Russian 26100952 1.41% 10 Dutch 25549308 1.38% 11 Turkish 19850823 1.08% 12 Swedish 15511077 0.84% 13 Finnish 13913585 0.75% 14 Norwegian 8896989 0.48% 15 Chinese 8863799 0.48% 16 Hebrew 8567314 0.46% 17 Czech 7820169 0.42% 18 Arabic 6692037 0.36% 19 Indonesian 5794989 0.31% 20 Hungarian 5619172 0.30% 21 th 5072842 0.27% 22 da 4398916 0.24% 23 ro 4133216 0.22% 24 ko 3396611 0.18% 25 bg 3173471 0.17% 26 vi 3032979 0.16% 27 fa 2690333 0.15% 28 ca 2453214 0.13% 29 lt 2410434 0.13% 30 hr 2391348 0.13% 31 el 2286062 0.12% 32 ms 2119487 0.11% 33 sk 1873386 0.10% 34 sl 1753346 0.09% 35 simple 1614145 0.09% 36 et 1423607 0.08% 37 sr 1199822 0.06% 38 uk 1110578 0.06% 39 tl 1069871 0.06% 40 gl 923308 0.05% 41 lv 876243 0.05% 42 bs 828707 0.04% 43 eo 731760 0.04% 44 sq 648370 0.04% 45 eu 593362 0.03% 46 mk 572943 0.03% 47 ka 547997 0.03% 48 nn 539562 0.03% 49 te 475333 0.03% 50 la 447362 0.02% 51 is 411988 0.02% 52 sh 393023 0.02% 53 hi 382151 0.02% 54 ta 334968 0.02% 55 lb 316817 0.02% 56 ast 306507 0.02% 57 az 305324 0.02% 58 ku 297680 0.02% 59 cy 294459 0.02% 60 nds 283217 0.02% 61 br 282351 0.02% 62 bn 268771 0.01% 63 scn 255165 0.01% 64 io 240010 0.01% 65 mr 237498 0.01% 66 oc 229580 0.01% 67 bpy 216187 0.01% 68 su 215629 0.01% 69 jv 214303 0.01% 70 ceb 191102 0.01% 71 vo 184129 0.01% 72 nap 175261 0.01% 73 ht 168348 0.01% 74 pms 138040 0.01% 75 new 117181 0.01% Assumming that the number of page views for the top 1000 pages is representative of the total count for all pages, it appears that English accounts for just over half all Wikipedia traffic at present. It also suggests that EN Wikipedia probably gets over 1 billion page views per month. ;-). It would be interesting to see pageviews per article if anyone wants to add in the article counts for each community. -Robert Rohde _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l -- Chinese wikipedia: http://zh.wikipedia.org/ My blog: http://talk.blogbus.com CNBlog: http://blog.cnblog.org/weblog.html Social Brain: http://www.socialbrain.org cnbloggercon: http://www.cnbloggercon.org/ MeMedia: http://memedia.cn [[zh:User:Shizhao]]
