Add topic2024 impact report of photo equipment purchased in 2017
[edit]The following is a report of file usages and organic view counts of all photos uploaded across multiple Wikimedia projects using the photo equipment purchased in 2017. The report is generated using GLAMorgan, and includes human views in article-namespace only. The report also excludes photos not taken as part of an organised Wikimedia photo project (i.e. photowalk).
| Period | Views |
|---|---|
| November 2023 | 353,406 |
| December 2023 | 373,316 |
| January 2024 | 465,137 |
| February 2024 | 386,353 |
| March 2024 | 406,766 |
| April 2024 | 390,553 |
| May 2024 | 333,487 |
| June 2024 | 272,767 |
| July 2024 | 322,959 |
| August 2024 | 337,851 |
| September 2024 | 349,368 |
| October 2024 | 331,959 |
| Cumulative 12-month total | 4.3 million views |
The total views for the above, including individual photos not taken as part of an organised Wikimedia photo project (i.e. photowalks), is approximately 1.7 million views in October 2024 alone. This number is derived by simply running Commons:Category:Files by User:Rehman on GLAMorgan - hence the number is flawed, as some of the photos in this category were taken by different photo equipment. This report is voluntary and for our information only. --Rehman 15:32, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
