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.

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? --] (]) 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 ]. PS.

:: 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.

Hi Piotr,
::Hi. I'm pretty sure it is. One of the 3 aspects of a dab page is "Ensuring that a reader who searches for a topic using a particular term can get to the information on that topic quickly and easily, whichever of the possible topics it might be." The first item on the dab page was little more than a definition, and definitely didn't link to get the reader to a particular topic. In addition, each bullet on a dab should only have a single blue link. Also, I'm not quite sure what you intended to refer to in that first definition. Did you mean inhabitants of those 5 countries? Those 5 countries as a group? Or that each of those countries might also be referred to by that term? Finally, re: the plc, that can be handled by a hatnote, since the demographic is clearly the primary target. ] <sup>]</sup> 18:59, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi Piotrus,
Hello Piotrus. I see there's ] about ]. 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. ] (]) 22:32, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

hello! i read through your GA review of ''ten no hate made''. i don't mind assisting with some of the japanese, but i'm going in relatively blind, having only read ''versailles, claudine,'' and ''oniisama e...'' i'm a little pre-occupied right now, but if you can point me in the direction for what you need or give me some sources to work from, i'd be happy to help any way i can! ] (]) 13:19, 16 January 2025 (UTC)

:@] Much appreciated. I don't know if there are any academic works mentioning this in Japanese, but I'd expect there should be at least some reviews or such? I'd be very curious if there was any commentary by Japanese reviewers on the choice of subject matter (Polish history), which is very rare in Japan, but I'll settle for just learning what the reviewers said (assuming any can be found).

DYK for German atrocities committed against prisoners of war during World War II

On 9 January 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article German atrocities committed against prisoners of war during World War II, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that while Germans murdered millions of prisoners of war during WWII, the survival ratio of Jewish POWs was generally tied to the army or nation they served with, and not to their ethnicity? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/German atrocities committed against prisoners of war during World War II. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, German atrocities committed against prisoners of war during World War II), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Anglo-American

Hi. Not adverse to a dab, however the first item does not point to a particular subject, rather it is more of a definition than a link to an article on that subject. Therefore there is currently only one valid target. Onel5969 11:56, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

@Onel5969 I am not sure if this is against policy? There is also Anglo American plc. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 13:35, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
Hi. I'm pretty sure it is. One of the 3 aspects of a dab page is "Ensuring that a reader who searches for a topic using a particular term can get to the information on that topic quickly and easily, whichever of the possible topics it might be." The first item on the dab page was little more than a definition, and definitely didn't link to get the reader to a particular topic. In addition, each bullet on a dab should only have a single blue link. Also, I'm not quite sure what you intended to refer to in that first definition. Did you mean inhabitants of those 5 countries? Those 5 countries as a group? Or that each of those countries might also be referred to by that term? Finally, re: the plc, that can be handled by a hatnote, since the demographic is clearly the primary target. Onel5969 18:59, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
@Onel5969 The point is that Anglo-American refers, primarily, to "both Britain and the US."; the redirect to Anglo-Americans is misleading. This is also true for many links pointing to it. Anyway, I fortunately found a proper single article to use in the disambig (Anglosphere). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:19, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
Should this be merged with Anglo American disambig? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:22, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
Sounds good. I made a slight tweak, since each entry should only have 1 blue link. Let me know what you think. And regarding the merge, yes, probably, that would simplify searches. Onel5969 10:53, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
@Onel5969 Could you do the merge? I also think that the Anglo-American Publishing does not belong there per WP:PARTIAL (but the plc is ok, since it is sometimes referred to without the plc). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 00:44, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
Done. I added the publishing house, for while I understand your point about PARTIAL, I also think that someone searching for the publishing house might only put in the first two words. Onel5969 01:57, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
@Onel5969 Fair, but consider we have a bunch of other stuff like Anglo-American School of Moscow, Anglo-American loan and quite a few others I see from the search... Oh, we should probably redirect Anglo-american to the disambig too? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:00, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
I see your point now. In light of that, I'll remove the publishing house, and yes, Anglo-american should also point to the dab. I'll take care of it. Onel5969 10:48, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

DYK for Allied prisoners of war in Japan

On 12 January 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Allied prisoners of war in Japan, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the harsh treatment of Allied prisoners of war in Japan is well known in the West but mostly ignored or glossed over in Japan itself?

Polish language help

Hi Piotrus,

I wrote an article on the ToNiePokój escape room fire, and am doing some research for information to expand it. My Polish is not very good yet, and the passage "Prokurator zwróciła także uwagę na opinię biegłych, według których budynek był w złym stanie technicznym. - Nie było tam stałego źródła ogrzewania, a o wynajmie zadecydowała niska cena czynszu - dodała. W mowie końcowej wypunktowano także zlekceważenie obowiązku wprowadzenia stałego ogrzewania do lokalu usługowego i instrukcji obsługi tych urządzeń. - Piecyki gazowe, mające ogrzewać lokal, umieszczono w pomieszczeniach pozbawionych wentylacji i zawierających materiały łatwopalne - podkreśliła prokurator Sielska." (from ) is confusing me and Google translate is coming up with gibberish. If it is not too much trouble, would you mind giving me the gist of the passage? Thank you for any help you can provide. All the best, Grumpylawnchair (talk) 16:53, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

@Grumpylawnchair Sure. Here's my corrected Google Translate: The prosecutor also drew attention to the experts opinion, according to which the building was in poor technical condition. - There was no permanent source of heating there, and the low rent was the deciding factor in renting it - she added. The final speech also highlighted the neglect of the obligation to introduce permanent heating to the service premises and the instructions for using these devices. - Gas heaters, which were supposed to heat the premises, were placed in rooms without ventilation and containing flammable materials - emphasized prosecutor Sielsak
Overall, GT did a good job; it changed experts to expert. I an not sure what else could be confusing, but I clarified one part that might be unclear in the original? Is there anything else you'd like to ask about this passage? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:55, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
No, thank you. I realised that I had used Firefox's local translate instead of Google Translate, and that's what caused the gibberish. I still have issues in understanding more formal Polish sometimes, since I learn as a hobby, and I guess that the conjugation confused me. All the best, Grumpylawnchair (talk) 04:04, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
