A roundup of my creations / major expansions (creations of new content, either articles from scratch or significant additions), with the number of views in September 2008 according to GrokStats (note that each page gets a unknown basic number of views due to bots crawling Wikipedia, and that the current quality of articles is often more thanks to other editors than to my work).

100 articles, with a total of 111359 views in September 2008 (over half of those to one article). Considering that perhaps a number of those are bot views, removing 50 of the views per article still leaves 1063599 views, or an average of 1063 per page. Excluding the most popular page, the result drops to an average of 368 views and a total of 36460 views in one month.

By the end of February 2009, there were 119 articles, there was a total of 259920 views, most of those (over 200,000) in two articles, the most of those in an article I had little to do with in the end, apart from resurrection and first sourcing. Excluding those two gives a total of 42248. Dropping potential botviews (taking a high estimate of fifty per article per month) leaves 36398 views. This gives an average pageview of 2134 per article, or (excluding the two above mentioned articles) 311 per article, which is a decrease of 57 per article compared to September 2008. Considering that February has two days less, this gives an actual number of pageviews per day of 11.14 for February compared to the 12.27 of February.

Taking the articles considered in September, the total number of views is 117109 (up 6,000 with two days less), and excluding the one page still gives 39193 views. Minus botviews, we get 34243 pageviews (instead of 36460), but the pageview per day per article is 12.34 for February 2009 compared to 12.27 for September 2008. So the conclusion might be that there is a slight increase in the popularity of Wikipedia over the last six months, but the set of articles is biased and the increase is insignificant.
