Stats and DBpedia

Hello, are there any updated aggregate of the data available here http://dammit.lt/wikistats/? I mean for example one file per day or (better) one file per month instead of one file per hour. We are trying to use those data for the a new feature of the DBpedia project (http://dbpedia.org)

Thanks!

@Eugenio2: See http://wikistics.falsikon.de/dumps.htm for that ;-) Monthly data for December will be added the next days there. --- Best regards, Melancholie (talk) 04:46, 10 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PostgreSQL

I'm interested in helping to get PostgreSQL support added. I started working on the installer and several of my other patches are already in CVS. What are you working on, and what is left to be done? I'd rather not duplicate effort. -- ChadMiller 21:49, 2005 Jan 19 (UTC)

Right now I was working on non-PG stuff, and all my PG work is already in database. I hope I'll be able to merge everything in. There's still some schema and other patches floating around, I've got to catch them all up. Domas Mituzas 10:38, 2005 Jan 29 (UTC)

lietuviska wikipedia

Sveikas, nezinau ar vietoj klausimas, bet turim lituviskoj wikipedijoj toki puslapi, kuriame lygtai tur?tu buti statistika, o realiai kiek atsimenu niekad nieko nebuvo. Ar tai susije su softu, t.y. ar kazka reiktu pakeisti, ar tiesiog lietuviskai wikipedijai nuspresta ta galimybe riboti? dirgela

Vilnius, Vilno and whatnot

Hi there! I'm not as pro-Polish as it might seem. I simply don't like anachronisms and calling the Byzantine capital "Istanbul" is a mistake for me. Similarily, I have nothing against calling the modern city of Vilnius with its contemporary name in historical articles. Check User_talk:Meier for more details.

And I must say that I didn't get your "you should treat anon users as humans as well" remark. Could you explain it? --Halibutt 23:04, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)

Ah, the revert reason was 'rv anon'. As if it was the main reason ;-) Domas Mituzas 06:31, 2005 Mar 29 (UTC)

Manyciau lietuviski straipsniai apie Giniota-Pilsudski ir Zeligovski yra netikslus, saliski ir net netinkamai isversti is anglisku versiju. Deja, redagavimai apie Pilsudski buvo atmesti. Remiantis dabatiniais Lietuvos [[istorikais][2]], - tai buvo pilietinis konfliktas, kurioje abi puses reme kaimynines valstybes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vaisvila (talk • contribs) 09:13, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

MogileFS in PHP & Wikipedia

Midom, I was checking out your cvs source for MogileFS (I assume you're source ;-): [3].

How far along with porting the client to PHP are you? The sections labeled "TODO" are they really to-do? Or are they all done? They look pretty good.

Is MogileFS on the list of stuff to eventually integrate into Wikipedia?

It looks pretty cool, I was thinking about using it in some of my code. Thanks!

- Ianneub 00:14, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)

The MogileFS effort was directed to availability of any generic storage facility. The MogileFS extension itself has been done by JeLuF, though, I later tried to use it for MediaWiki. Anyway, there's another development effort in our camp, a distributed object system, a bit similiar to MogileFS, though, eliminates needs of SPOF (MySQL database for trackers). The ETA for it might be several months. The we sure will have generic storage implemented everywhere. And by the way, 1.5 MediaWiki (currently in alpha), already has ability to define external storage classes for Articles. Therefore you can have your wiki store archives or current articles on FTP/HTTP/MogileFS/distributed MySQL/BitTorrent ;-) Domas Mituzas 08:43, 2005 Apr 23 (UTC)
Holy cow, a bittorrent storage engine for articles? That's awesome. I wonder how well it will work in practice (too much latency?) Do you have any URLs describing the new distributed object system or annon cvs access? I'd love to poke around and see what it looks like. - Ianneub 20:07, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)
BitTorrent was a joke. I just wanted to show flexibility of method behind. BitTorrent has very slow response time, so there has to be kind of different algorithms for that. But nobody told us it can't be distributed. And so far we're not considering involving software running on peers, just distributed on our servers. Domas Mituzas 05:18, 2005 Apr 26 (UTC)

Date/time format localization

It is irritating to see date parts ordered according to english rules in lithuanian wiki (not sure about other languages). Can we have this fixed? Or, at the very least, can we move to ISO Date/Time?

As for interface messages it is rather easy to use any rule we like. Where and what would you like to change? Domas Mituzas 10:42, 2005 May 21 (UTC)

Collapsing Wiki

User login statistics

I run a genealogy wiki for my family, using the Mediawiki software. It is password protected, and I would love to be able to track user login statistics, such as who logs in and when. I have so far been unable to find any info on this anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated - thank you!

Slovene Wikipedia

As you're one of the developers I'm turning to you with request to translate some on MediaWiki software, used on :sl. As of now we're still using english command for categories, but we wish to use slovene version (Kategorija instead of Category); some of associated commands were already translated, but this wasn't. Another translation is of Template to Predloga. Regards, --Klemen Kocjancic 10:51, 21 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

dėl lt.vikipedijos administravimo

Sveiki, mano IP adresą 213.226.190.45. arba vartotoją užblokavo LT srities administratorius User:Dirgela sekančią dieną po to kai User:Tractor emocingai suplakė į vieną krūvą asmenišką požiūrį ir kaltinimus dėl Wikipedijos taisyklių pažeidimų. Manau, kad mano indėlis rodo mano gerą valią, o kartais pasitaikančios klaidos nėra piktybinio pobūdžio. Todėl (su 6 valandas vėluojnačiu paaiškinančiu įrašu) blokavimas yra neadekvati priemonė.
Kadangi su šiais 2 dalyviais teko ginčytis ir anksčiau ir atsikirtinėti į asmeniškumus, manau, kad šiuo atveju tai yra dirbtinas priekabių ieškojimas ir asmeninių ambicijų lygio susidorojimas, neturintis nieko bendro su administravimu ar siekiais gerinti Lt.Wikipedija kokybę, nepuošiantis jų kaip administratorių ir pačios Wikipedijos Lt srities.
Prašau tarpininkauti šio ginčo sprendime. --AndriuZ 13:04, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

10 000 straipsnių, VIkipedijos populiarinimas

Citata: Kaip Eltai sakė interneto projekto techninės dalies vadovas Domas Mituzas, šiuo metu lietuviškoje "Wikipedios" versijoje - apie....

Matyti, kad turi patirties su žiniasklaida. Gal įmanoma susisiekti su ELTA, BNS ir kt agentūromis ir pranešti apie Vikipedijos sparčią plėtrą bei kreipiantis į visuomenę, paprašyti pagalbos redaguojant ir plečiant Laisvąją enciklopediją ? Ooom, 14:16, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Favoritai

Kadangi tavo lietuviškam aprašyme buvo parašyta "Jeigu norite pakeisti kažką lietuviškos vikipedijos kode - rašykite į anglišką talk'ą", tad ir rašau. Nežinau kaip ten veikia ta wikipedija, bet manau, kad tai reikia keisti kode. Taigi, manau, kad vertėtų kokia nors funkcija kaip pvz. Add to Favorite, kad galetum įsitraukti straipsnį į savo asmeninį favoritų sąrašą ir galėtum lengvai ir greitai pasiekti reikiamą straipsnį.

Login unsuccessful

Hello, I am the User:Bababoum and have been unable to login since logging out sometime on Saturday. Even though I'm sure I have tried to log in with the correct password (my username), I requested to be e-mailed with a new password, but it said "There is no e-mail address recorded for user "Bababoum". I took this to the admins where it was discussed here, WP:AN#Login unsuccessful, and I was told that you would possibly be able to retrieve my account. They also said that my account may have been disabled due to having the same username/password, although I wasn't aware that this happened. If proof is needed that I am indeed that user, please check my IP address (apparently a 'CheckUser' would be able to prove this). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PERF

Hi! Let me quote few things from PERF: In the overwhelming majority of cases means that there's slight minority of cases that has different issues. On the rare occasion they occur, follow instructions from the system administrators who come in to pick up the pieces, and everything will be fine. - well, you just reverted one. Obviously you shouldn't do exactly the same thing again - but you did. listen to the system administrators if they tell you not to do something - it is even in bold. oh well. but the safeguards we have in place are not perfect. - indeed they are not, and thats why we have to do performance engineering. Domas Mituzas (talk) 08:22, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, I did not realize that you were a developer. The only reason I put that code there was so that we wouldn't have to use an even more ugly and inefficient JavaScript hack to change the text on the main page's tab. I'm fine with you removing the code from MediaWiki:Nstab-main, but I am not going to let the JavaScript hack we used before back in. If there is demand for this feature then you developers will have to come up with some other way to implement it.
Anyway, happy editing, and I'll be more careful about reverting your edits in the future. —Remember the dot (talk) 01:00, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The reason seems to be that stats.grok.se harddisk is full. The raw data is still available. The builddaily script doesn't have to do with Henrik's analyses, by the way. They are based on the hourly logs, that actually fit needs best. (Side note: the surplus builddaily script seems to be too server intense; I already offered midom my resulting daily logs, as there would be even more things to log with his server, image usage etc.) --- Best regards, Melancholie (talk) 21:33, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

First of all, I apologize if you're the wrong person to ask this.

Since I have heard it said that you might know more about the subject discussed in User_talk:AnomieBOT#Broken_references, I'd like to ask you if you can update me please on whether that problem is fixed already. Thanks. Debresser (talk) 16:09, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikistats

Hi, I am de:User:Ben-Oni from the German Wikipedia. I am part of a group of users, who used the data you supply on http://dammit.lt/wikistats/ to create montly viewing statistics for the articles in a particular category (using a perl script) and we came to the conclusion, that the download times are the bottleneck, enforcing quite a long runtime. Would it be possible for you to supply a list of compiled data (just adding up all the views in the month for each article) at the end of each month? For us this would amount to a reduction of downloaded data from ~35GB to ~50MB which would be quite a relief. If there is already a source for such "compiled data" I would be grateful, if you could point me the direction. Cheers -- 77.137.25.155 (talk) 09:18, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disabling of WP:ADMINSTATS

I noticed that you fully protected User:JamesR/AdminStats so that the bot can no longer update the page. Can you tell me why you have done this? Just curious. Deli nk (talk) 20:21, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thats between me and JamesR. Site stability reasons, mostly. Domas Mituzas (talk)

old visits log packages

Hi Domas. Have you thought about uploading the old visits logs packages to archive.org (or something like that)? emijrp (talk) 15:20, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm all for any spread of the data. I don't have time myself for that :-)

wikistats older files

Hi Domas, thanks for making the wikistats raw files available to the public. I'm just downloading them. Do you happen to have these before Oct/2009 -- thanks fij —Preceding undated comment added 11:03, 9 April 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Wikiproject medicine

We are currently working on a paper for publication. We are wondering if it is possible to figure out the sum of the pages views for all article pages that are part of Wikiproject medicine for a given month? One static number for a given month would be good. If we could look back in time and get a graph of the changing influence of WPMED on health care that would be incredible.

Wikistats

Hi Domas, I see you get a number of questions about your WikiStats dump here. I've read through them all and haven't seen this simple query answered: How is one to interpret the filenames? For example "pagecounts-20100609-000000.gz", I assume, would be all hits that occured between 00:00:00 and 00:59:59 on 6/9/2010, and the locale would be UTC. One problem; this file is currently available (at a seemingly full 55MB), and it is only 00:46:00 UTC. So is it actually all edits that occured BEFORE the filename, but AFTER the previous filename? (or something along the lines, (i.e., "the hour that ended at..."). Thanks, 00:50, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

The hour that ended at, yes. Domas Mituzas (talk) 11:22, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikistats currently defective?

Hi, there seems to be a problem with the most recent wikistats, with secondary tools like stats.grok.se exhibiting sharp drops in access numbers pretty much across the board. Example: enWP main page: June 10th: 4.5M hits, 11th: 2.8M, 12th: 905k. Similiar for deWP.

At the same time, the size of the generated pagecount files dropped below their usual 50+ MB, starting with pagecounts-20100610-190000.gz (42.1M), slowly dwindling away to currently 15–20 MB. Could you please take a look at this? Regards, —mnh·∇· 05:49, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just emailed a copy of your post to Midom since I'm not sure whether he reads this page on a regular basis. --Sitacuisses (talk) 06:36, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
He has already answered my mail. He says he fixed it, for now. --Sitacuisses (talk) 07:59, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Always nice to have problems fixed fast. Cheers, —mnh·∇· 22:13, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's not fixed. Maile66 (talk) 00:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Hoping soon. Thanks. --KurtR (talk) 07:01, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Damn, I thought I eliminated the root cause, will look at it more attentively today. Domas Mituzas (talk) 07:24, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Figured it out - async logging pipeline had some sync blocking bottleneck added few days ago :) Domas Mituzas (talk) 22:13, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Now it's worse. Instead of the stats dropping off, there are no stats at all for June 15. Maile66 (talk) 08:42, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Depends where you're looking at, wherever I'm looking, there are full stats. Domas Mituzas (talk) 12:58, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think we still have some problems. Let's have you look at some obvious pages: Barack Obama would be one - when I look at the stats, it says June 14 was the last date for stats. How about this one: [6] Every page I look at, the more current stats are June 14. I can click on pages forever, and the last stats are June 14. Must be something wrong between what you look at, and what I look at. Could this have anything to do with the changes that went into effect yesterday? Maile66 (talk) 13:59, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, at http://dammit.lt/wikistats/ there're up to date numbers. I don't know why they don't show up at http://stats.grok.se, I have nothing much to do with that project :-) Domas Mituzas (talk) 14:33, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Let me make sure I have what you are telling me correct. Your gauge is http://dammit.lt/wikistats/ But as far as the individual history stat pages we look at, that's a different part of the project, and conceivably a different bug in the system? Maile66 (talk) 14:38, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I publish stats to dammit.lt/wikistats - then they get consumed by various other projects, such as stats.grok.se. The process was broken at one point, causing bad files. I don't know why stats.grok.se is not working though ;-) Domas Mituzas (talk) 15:39, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Now I understand that it's stats.grok.se Maile66 (talk) 17:01, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Data for last two days are back in stats.grok.se. Unfortunately still too low, about the half of normal size. --KurtR (talk) 03:36, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stats have been totally empty for past 4 hours. --Harriv (talk) 19:11, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Noooeeesss, probably attached a debugger to a wrong process :-) Blame Tomasz! Domas Mituzas (talk) 08:42, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And now it's stopped working at all since 6.00 (UTC). --Harriv (talk) 07:33, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
