RC active users

The SQL Query offered to you by Dispenser is certainly the best way to request those numbers. If you don't have access to db of Misplaced Pages like me all you can do is request the recent changes with HTML, RSS or any other format and let a program parse out the data manually. To give an example Ive coded such a tool in Java here sourcecode/jar/Windows. It'll yield good results but is quick and dirty...

Can we use a unit such as active users/articles to evaluate the level of maintenance? What would be highly interesting is to see this data in a graph. What are the peaks? When are most users online? Are more users active in wikipedia during the week or on weekends? Observing these numbers over a longer period, while the number of created accounts is naturally increasing, is also the number of active users on a steady increase? What do you think? --64.202.107.25 (talk) 16:47, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

I think that long term trends would be very valuable. Unfortunately I cannot code, so I am dependent on others creating software - or counting manually :( I run your software and it works nicely; I got (~UTC 19:30) 119 users and 45 IPs active in the past 5 minutes and 836 users and 411 IPs in the last hour. Here are a few hopefully easy to implement suggestions for your software: 1) add a 'number of editors in a last minute' 2) allow logging into a text file (in a fashion that would be excel friendly; maybe save the data into a csv file directly?) 3) and a time stamp (UTC perhaps)? And of course, do announce your software at the relevant thread at VPT/T:RCP; I'd also suggest adding it somewhere to Misplaced Pages:Tools. PS.

--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 15:42, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm actually on vacation and shouldn't be working. Still I realized there are some very severe flaws in the correctness of the tool. I am truly sorry. At the moment your version of the tool shouldn't even be functioning at all since that version expected dates to be written like "02 August 2009" -- mind the zero -- but Misplaced Pages uses "2 August 2009" and now it finds nothing at all :-(

A second flaw is with using the RecentChanges.php?limit=50000. When you set the limit to 50,000, Misplaced Pages internally minimizes that limit back to 5,000 changes. That wouldn't matter for all Wikipedias except for the English one, because the English Misplaced Pages has more than 5,000 changes/hour usually . It means that all your results were incorrect, the numbers presented were way too small. That flaw could be easily fixed by fetching the recent changes several times in every hour and keep them in the memory.

Having fixed those flaws however, this version sourcecode/jar/Windows of it finds all the users and IPs accurately now. You can use and modify my code any way you like, I'm not taking ownership or copyright. Sorry again that you let your computer running all night and still got only poor results. If I make any other progress with it, I will let you know.

As a format for Excel the easiest way should be using a CVS file. To be compatible with most software, now the tool first stores the Unix time, then the ISO 8601 time, then the time in yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss, then the number of users and lastly the number of IPs. Do you need another format? The results.csv file is in the same directory and worked great with OpenOffice.org (OpenOffice exists also for Windows!) , it should also work with MS Excel. Does it work now? --64.202.107.25 (talk) 01:58, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. How do you make the program create and save the cvs file? I've been running it for few hours but I don't see the file anywhere. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 08:23, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Volhynia dispute now at AN3

Hello Piotrus. I see there's a report at WP:AN3 about Massacres of Poles in Volhynia. Since this is not in the conventional form of a 3RR report, any admin who dares to take on that report will be tempted to close it with no action. But since the issue has been raised, what would you think about a 1RR restriction for the article? (One revert per editor per day). My hope is this would produce more negotiation, since there would be less reward given to speedy reverters. EdJohnston (talk) 22:32, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

With your encouragement, I've closed the AN3 case as '1RR on the article', added a note to the article talk imposing the 1RR, and asked for review at WP:AN. EdJohnston (talk) 01:21, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: T:TDYK

Thanks for suggestion, most of these small articles are single sourced as there is very limited material available both printed and on the net. I have occasionaally added cites but there have been few occasions where I felt they were justified due to most info being single sourced. I can't see any way out of that.Petebutt (talk) 10:03, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
