Need the Potentia Media page back. I am trying to make it what it was listed as
11:11, 30 December 2007 Henrik (Talk | contribs) deleted "Potentia Media" (It is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article. (CSD G11))
Need the Potentia Media page back. I am trying to make it what it was listed as. A bit of help for Charity would be nice. It's not a business, it's a charity. Below is an email I just got in. I represent at 503C3, Sisters in the Building Trades. My e-mail is shyeshye@aol.com I have no idea how to use this site other than to read it. So a bit of help would be nice. Lots of work trying to change the world on a shoe string. Help is appreciated. It was a good article, just a few points that needed to be made real, and I was working on that as you will see below. Explaining a charity and what it does is not a bad thing. And all 3 charity's involved in this request are easily varifiable. Great site. First time I have had an issue. Thanks for your work. It is appreciated.
Dear Melina,
Thank you for writing to us and for the wonderful work that you do! Yes, Potentia media is a beautiful project and unfortunately, we dont have a partnership with them. As you can see on Potentia's web site, they currently partner with CARE. However, we are talking to them about potentially partnering with them and should that happen, we would mutually feature links to each other's web sites.
I tried to look up the wikipedia entry where Potentia mentions they partner with the Global Fund but was unable to find it - can you please send me the link?
Also, considering the wonderful work you do with Sisters in the Building Trades, Id like to quickly mention one of our grantee partners in Nicaragua that works to train women in unconventional trades like building, carpentry and so on - do check them out at www.mujeresconstructoras.org
Thank you so much for writing to us,
Warmly,
Preeti

What is the schedule for stat updates? Frequently, I am able to get stats from the previous day. Today, I am looking for stats fromthe 24th. When will they be available?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 13:46, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- Unfortunately there was a problem at the source today - it stopped updating after 14:00 yesterday. I've let Domas know, hopefully it should be starting up again soon. henrik•talk 13:50, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- Were yesterday's stat's lost?--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 15:51, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi Henrik,
How do you compute your stats? For instance, if I look for youtube in May - http://stats.grok.se/en/200805/youtube - your stats report 198.7k on May 3 but a grep for ^youtube on en.txt extracted from http://dammit.lt/wikistats/daily/daily-20080503.tgz yields youtube 52937 52937 youtube 12904 12904 youtube 3092 3092 youtube 2407 2407 youtube 562 562 youtube 500 500 youtube%27a_Proxy_Bazl%C4%B1_Giri%C5%9F_Yollar%C4%B1 279 279 youtube 211 211 youtube 159 159 youtube.com 130 130 youtube 128 128 youtube 119 119 youtube 102 102 youtube 98 98 youtube,com 20 20 youtube.com 18 18 youtube 16 16
Even if I do a case insensitive grep and sum all matches I only get to 127608. How come these numbers are nowhere near to 200k? How do you deal with multiple entries?
Best, Matthijs (163.1.26.4 (talk) 10:56, 23 May 2008 (UTC))
- When I had a look on that daily lists at dammit.lt more than a week ago, I had to recognize that those lists are totally inaccurate. As the script seems to be still from May 17, this probably has not changed yet. But I can tell you that the numbers shown at stats.grok.se are correct ;-) --- Best regards, Melancholie (talk) 01:16, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Stats tool coming back
to life. the 24 and 25th dates are up now. I can't live without this tool. Thanks. Chrisgj (talk) 19:41, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'm adding the stats for the 26th and 27th right now, so it should be back to normal tomorrow. Hehe, I'm glad it is useful. henrik•talk 19:45, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- BTW, if you like getting readers you should write an FA and get it scheduled on the main page: One I've edited got over 100k hits on the day it was on the main page, about what it would otherwise get in the better part of a year. henrik•talk 19:49, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks Henrik for having taken care of the stats tool. We appreciate all, even the numerous lurkers hiding in the dark. ;-) — STAR TREK Man [Space, the final frontier...] 21:36, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

a practical 'challenge'
...regarding your experiences in that matter: what do you think about a top fifty thousand? this is what de_wiki plans to take as the amount of articles in a future print version...
my question: if they do so, what would in your opinion (approximately) be the lowest range for an article to get into that book? if i take your tool, no.1000(de:John Lennon) is at 31.800 clicks in april... do you believe that articles beyond 1.000 monthly clicks have any chance to reach something above chartnumber 50.000? greetings from Germany, --ulli purwin (talk) 16:52, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- Interesting question. For February, the 50 000th most viewed article on de got about 2000 page views (2124 views, if you want to be exact). henrik•talk 17:35, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- ...thanx a lot, Henrik! i will post that information on de... --ulli purwin (talk) 18:45, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
French stats
Hi Henrik, as everyone I thank you for THE tool. :)
I'd like to know if you can explain why in the February French Top 1000, (Landes) is 3rd, %s 53tt, (Oise) 69th and (Doubs) 160th, H 175th, Landes, Oise and Doubs being departments of France but with no reason to be between parentheses.
And will it be tops for other months later ?
Encolpe (talk) 12:56, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- My guess would be some software automatically querying wikipedia and for some reason (a bug?) putting parentheses in the query. Yes, I just need to rewrite the script to generate the top lists, since I lost it due to a careless mistake :/ henrik•talk 15:33, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Is there someone with access to raw logs who can find out who it is? If it's a buggy bot it should be blocked, it's really making a huge amount of buggy requests...
- Gonioul (talk) 14:38, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Stats: potential bug?
Henrik, I can not find any stats for neither Marshall Plan nor Belgian Revolution. There gotta be hits, since I have visited those articles recently to fix other people's edits. A bug maybe in the stats page? Thanks. Miguel.mateo (talk) 10:43, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hm, I can't reproduce that. Both http://stats.grok.se/en/200804/Belgian_Revolution and http://stats.grok.se/en/200804/Marshall_Plan show plenty of hits for me. henrik•talk 15:31, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Two questions about how visits are counted
I'm using your tool to improve catalan wikipedia but I need some help to understand the meaning of counts:
- Some users use catalan wikipedia trough the domain http://viquipedia.cat, which is redirected to the "official" ca.wikipedia.org. May this affect visits count?
- Are bots visiting articles to check interwikis counted as visits? If they are counted and there is no way to count apart human visitors, do you know any estimation of how often are articles visited by boots?
Thank you in advance.--Pere prlpz (talk) 18:32, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hope it's ok when I answer this:
- No, as http://ca.wikipedia.org/... is included by a frame; every page comes from the Wikimedia servers, not from viquipedia.cat
- Yes, also bots are counted [every squid server access]! http://vo.wikipedia.org/ has about 100,000 page hits per day, but only 25 speakers at all. Having 116,000 articles there, I guess that there is an average of up to one (1) page hit per article caused by a bot (a little bit less). Note: Such numbers strongly depend on how good your wiki is interconnected [by links (mainly interwikis)]! --- MfG, Melancholie (talk) 18:50, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Wondering how much work it would be to make traffic statistics case sensitive

Anti-Americanism
Hi Henrik. Thanks for coming to this article as a neutral party. It's been difficult lately and I probably haven't been on best behaviour. If you do have the time, maybe you could comment on this thread. Do give the article a read-over beforehand; third party opnions on future direction would be very helpful. Cheers, Marskell (talk) 21:35, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- Someone asked me to look at the article a while ago and I didn't. You seem to be doing a good job now. Let me know if you need any help William M. Connolley (talk) 22:30, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. More eyes are always helpful, so if you feel like it I wouldn't mind at all. I'll try to stay involved in trying to resolve this however, I think we've only just started. henrik•talk 12:30, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks William. When the page is brought to something resembling decent, I will ping you. Marskell (talk) 17:26, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Anti-Americanism
Sorry if I get emotional but I find the idea of certain editors that Anti-Americanism is just an imaginary construction frankly ludicrous. What I say may seem sarcastic but I am just trying to state the obvious fact that Anti-Americanism is a real thing happening in the real world. If people declare war on the US (as Osama did in 1998) or burn the American flag or shout out 'Death to America' or sack the American Embassy etc they are almost by definition anti-American. We have the same problem at the Anti-Catholicism article, with certain editors imagining that the subject is about politically correct attitudes and ignoring the fact that eg there were definate written down legislative acts against the Catholics in Britain, Ireland, Mexico etc. and confessions of faith which called the Pope 'the Anti-Christ'. I.e. that the topic is about real things happening to real people in the real world not just about POV 'attitudes'. Colin4C (talk) 10:11, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- A large problem from my understanding is that it is both. Osama in 1998 and crowds shouting death to America is obviously real anti-American sentiment. And no, that shouldn't be watered down with politically correct cultural relativism. However, it has also been used as a term to discredit legitimate criticism against U.S. policies. Like any nation, the US does both good and bad things. As the world's only super-power it is highly visible and always scrutinized. I think the article needs to show both of these sides. I rather like the "Definitions and usage" section of the current article, while the history section needs quite a bit of work (In that I agree with Life.temp). henrik•talk 12:30, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- Mmm, but Life.temp isn't arguing for work. He simply wants to remove as much material as he can. He's basically indicated that even if we source sections he's going to want to remove them. This is really not acceptable. If we add good, sourced material, I think we should consider blanking it vandalism. Speaking of which, I have done up the Degeneracy section. I'm pleased. Some surgery needs to be done to incorporate this and I would suggest that the article be unlocked. We can't sit here hostage to one editor.
- As for whether it's both—yes, it is. I wrote most of the Definitions and Usage and I have no problem adding more to the second sense of the term elsewhere in the article. The difficulty is that, beyond Chomsky, there isn't a whole lot out there on it. If people bring quality sources arguing for it, we can certainly use them. Marskell (talk) 17:24, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- Well, obviously just removing material isn't the way to go forward. Your sandbox version of the Degeneracy section looks rather nice. There are a few tweaks I can think of though, but that can wait until it is in the article. :)
- I've unprotected it now. While the issue hasn't been resolved yet, there hasn't been any more discussions and just waiting won't solve anything. henrik•talk 08:39, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
FYI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Anti-Americanism#Truce —Preceding unsigned comment added by Life.temp (talk • contribs) 22:39, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Arbitration? This is going nowhere. Marksell is reverting one-sentence changes by me without discussion--in the current case, he's done it six times. He has repeatedly stated a refusal to talk to me, e.g. "I have indicated I specifically don't want to speak with this editor..." [1] He is leaving edit comments like "checkmate", and making silly defenses of plagiarism in order to disagree with me. There's no interest in consensus here. The article has deep, fundamental problems regarding its labeling of other cultures, yet Marksell refuses to discuss one-sentence edits. He is subverting the basic rule of having an encyclopedia anyone can edit. Life.temp (talk) 09:25, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
page access
Could you also show with your tool how much traffic wikipedia organization sites had. That would be very helpful. Thank you Wandalstouring (talk) 12:04, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- Unfortunately not, the wikimedia sites aren't in the data dumps. henrik•talk 15:24, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Another issue that came to my mind, is how many articles need to be improved to give the average reader a satisfying reply(in 50% or in 90% of the cases he searches something). It pays off better if high traffic articles get improved because they will be viewed by a larger part of the readers. OK, that's already possible with the existing tool, but I suggest to go a step further and find out the distribution of total traffic on articles, possibly visualized with a declining graph (that lists the high access articles on one side and the low access on the other) and short notes at what monthly amount of clicks how much percent of the total traffic are covered. In return this could help to establish an importance rating for articles and thus improve reader satisfaction by focusing article improvement on top important rated articles and to a lesser degree on the middle importance rated articles. Wandalstouring (talk) 13:48, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- That is a good idea! henrik•talk 15:24, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- When you have done that graph, can you post it for implementation in the article Wikipedia and on my talk page (for the military history project). Thanks a lot. Wandalstouring (talk) 10:54, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Hit counts for Spanish Wikipedia to create a subset for XO laptops
Hi! My husband (who works at OLPC) and I have been working on creating a subset of Wikipedia pages that could be packaged into the OLPC XO-1 laptops (we're aiming for 35-40k articles = 80MB). Currently all the countries that have XO's are Spanish-speaking countries, so the appropriate wikipedia is es.wikipedia.org. We've tried to do this by counting the number of incoming links to pages and taking the most-linked pages, but this technique is failing to capture critical articles like Atom and Algebra (!). I think using traffic stats would result in a much more reasonable subset.
Do you have a file of es.wikipedia traffic stats that I could download? Top 100k is what I'm interested in, although I wouldn't mind having the whole shebang. Thanks! Madeleine ✉ ✍ 15:12, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

AA origins
Hi Henrik. Thanks for bringing a couple of new sources to the page; note I adjusted the headlines because I think your "Origins" section follows from "Definitions" above it. A couple of questions/notes re the following:
- "Scholars have developed two theories to explain the causes of anti-Americanism: the theories of resistance and scapegoating. The first holds that sentiment against America is a response by realists seeking to protect national interest against U.S. influence. According to it, hatred of America reflects "real-life experience" and is not an imagined perception. Rubin et al. argue that the underlying reason for anti-Americanism is "the belief that what underlies all U.S. actions is a desire to take over or remake the world."
- I'd like to drop "two theories" in favour of "two amongst a variety" or something like that. There are a lot of theories, so I don't want to pigeonhole it.
- I don't have any objections in principle, but I think most other theories could probably be contained under one of the two. The source also specifically says "two". If you read the source (p. 4), you'll see that I tried to stay pretty close to it.
- "...a response by realists." I presume you mean non-American realists?
- Correct. Do you have any suggestions how to make this clearer?
- "...not an imagined perception." Is this meant to be somewhat sympathetic? That is, a non-American realist might reasonably conclude it's best to oppose the US and this shouldn't be taken as irrational.
- Yes, that some expressions of opposing the US (either in a specific policy, or some part of the culture) could be rational. I'm not sure it would be helpful to go into details, but the protests during the lead-up to Iraq could perhaps be taken to be this kind. They were widely described as anti-American at the time.
- Finally, scroll down the article to the National Identity section. I'd like to greatly compress that by shortening the quotes and merge it with your Origins section. I think they go over much same thing.
- That seems like a good idea.
Sorry to bother you on User talk. Posting to Article talk is incredibly difficult at the moment. Marskell (talk) 20:02, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- No problem. :) henrik•talk 20:44, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- In general, I approve of how you've folded National Identity into Origins. I will probably tweak it considerably, but this seems a good starting point for improvement. It's after 1 am for me :) so I won't seriously engage the article or your above points until tomorrow. Marskell (talk) 21:18, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- I won't make any more changes today, better to go slow on this article. I await your tweaks with anticipation. :) I wouldn't mind getting rid of the rest of National Identity, as I think the rest of the content there is rather tangential. henrik•talk 21:23, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
- In general, I approve of how you've folded National Identity into Origins. I will probably tweak it considerably, but this seems a good starting point for improvement.

I tweaked the section. In the first line I made clear Rubin is suggesting two types and I also clarified non-American realists. I added "...is not an irrational or imagined perception." If you have wording closer to the text plz change it—"imagined perception" on its own doesn't tell me much. I also killed the rump section on National Identity; I buried some of the material in the Origins section.
As for the revert today, that's fine. I restored some things and left others. What's most frustrating is the sense of being put through the Wikipedia equivalent of Chinese water torture while trying to improve the article. Marskell (talk) 16:24, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
A Request
I want this false accusation against me by a certain editor on the Anti-Americanism talk page deleted. It is not acceptible to libel me on the wikipedia and it is contrary to this policy: Wikipedia:Assume good faith:
- "Returning to the task of improving the article, my edit to remove plagiarism was reverted without discussion! Very shocking! I explained my concern here [6], which received no response. Interestingly, Colin4C's response was not to remove the plagiarism, but to remove the source, making the plagiarism harder to detect." Colin4C (talk) 09:17, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
mountly dump of wikistats
Hello, we talk in march about wikistats and the possibility to get a dump for toolserver. Would it be possible to get a utf8-transformed dump from may? That's would be great. Thanks. --Kolossos (talk) 20:11, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia traffic page - comparison option
Hi Henrik,
Awesome tool at http://stats.grok.se. Any chance you can add a feature to compare stats for two articles directly? It could work by overlapping a translucent bar graph over the first, for example, or similar to Google Trends (e.g. http://www.google.com/trends?q=facebook,+myspace).
Thanks, Dan Dandv (talk) 22:17, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

- Yes, unfortunately. You can try this out easily by visiting randomstufftotestthis (do not use this link, use a secret, non-public one of your own) more than once (by reloading e.g.)! --- Best regards, Melancholie (talk) 01:06, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
