The focus of this article is on quantitative data about wikinews that appeal to a wider audience.
Introduction
edit- Traffic Ranks
The most referenced external statistics on the growing popularity of Wikipedia and its sister projects are trend figures and charts produced by Alexa. Although there are reasonable concerns over systemic bias in the results (some groups of users may be under/over represented) the overall trends are very revealing. Also Alexa is one of the few companies that publishes web traffic trends than span over 5 years (2007), and allow easy comparisons between web domains. See also Growth Figures below.
Growth Figures
editAll wikinews projects retain a full history of all article revisions. For each update is recorded who made it, and when, and what had been changed. This makes it possible to collect a wealth of statistical data, and allows plotting of historical trends.

- ↑ Only language projects with 10 or more articles are counted.
- ↑ pictures, audio files, video files

- ↑ Editors defined as "Registered contributors who edited at least 10 times since they arrived".
- ↑ "Wikistats, current status for all language projects". Wikimedia.
- ↑ Many regular contributors edit/operate on several language projects (especially administrators), the actual number of unique persons is therefore lower
