Invitation to participate in a research

[edit]

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

Extrapolated vs exact tube entry/exit statistics

[edit]

For the London Underground entry/exit statistics templates like Tubeexits2023, how come we use extrapolated statistics rather than the exact station footfall numbers, which TfL also provides? (e.g. 2023 data, 2024 data) ZeevoX (talk) 09:47, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The main reason is for consistency, but the footfall numbers generally are more than double entry/exit statistics TfL provide at https://crowding.data.tfl.gov.uk/Annual%20Station%20Counts/2023/AC2023_AnnualisedEntryExit.xlsx. It seems likely that there is a double counting within the footfall numbers. DavidCane (talk) 11:54, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, that makes sense. Guess in that case all we can do is wait for TfL to publish the annualised data for 2024. :) ZeevoX (talk) 20:54, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
TfL are not consistent with when they publish the data for the previous year. Last year it was August for 2023's data. They published 2022's data in October 2023 and 2021's data in July 2022. DavidCane (talk) 21:04, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
