Average amount of visits
To date, July has yielded 28,500 average individual visits per day.

Visits per day
This is a calculation of the visits per day on selected days. It is based on Wikinews Usage Statistics - the statistics on that page no longer display visits per day, a vital statistic we use for the following data.

News Article Count
Many of the pages created each month here at Wikinews are talk pages, user pages, admin pages, so it can be difficult to grasp how many news articles are published each month. That's why I've compiled the following information from old categorizations and digests. It should be fairly accurate, althought the figures will not add up to the total number of legitimate articles according to the stats page. This is due to a) less reliable figures for dec and nov, exclusion of pages such as tsunami help, exclusion of pages never properly published on main page - but still in existence.
