Countries are only included if the number of page edits in the period exceeds 100,000 (100 matching records in 1:1000 sampled log)
Page edits by bots are not included. Also all ip addresses that occur more than once on a given day are discarded for that day.
A few false negatives are taken for granted. Country meta data collected from English Wikipedia (population, internet users)).

Errata:

WMF traffic logging service suffered from server capacity problems from Nov 2009 till July 2010 and again in Aug/Sep/Oct 2011.
Data loss only occurred during peak hours. It therefore may have had somewhat different impact for traffic from different parts of the world.
