Dear all,
I'm working on a paper for the forthcoming GLAM-WIKI conference at the
British Museum (http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM-WIKI
<http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM-WIKI> ), and as part of it doing some
research into the referrals that cultural websites get from Wikipedia.
I'm keen to get some stats from UK and US cultural organisations,
specifically the number of referrals they get from Wikipedia (all
languages*) and the total number of visits for Sept 08, Sept 09 and Sept
10. It's not about creating a league table - more about seeing if there
are huge variations across the sector in the percentage, and creating an
aggregate percentage figure, and whether that has increased or otherwise
over the last 3 years.
I am intending to keep the actual figures anonymous (overall visits and
the referrals), as that isn't really the point - but I may come back and
ask for permission if there's a good reason to reveal the identity
behind any outlier, for example.
So, if you have access to your Museum's stats, and are willing to help
my survey, I would love to hear from you off list -

*Not just English - important.
Many thanks,
Matthew
