You didn't miss much

Yeah, we missed last week. No particular reason why, except that there are only two of us working on this and sometimes we have conflicting schedules. For an idea of what last week's list was like, however, see this week's list. And the week before's. The world appears to be in little mood to be interesting right now. The late-summer smash success of Straight Outta Compton remains the chief talking point of the English-speaking world, interrupted only by the welcome return of a Google Doodle, which topped the list for the first time since 10 May.

For the full top-25 list, see WP:TOP25. See this section for an explanation of any exclusions. For a list of the most edited articles of the week, see here.

As prepared by Serendipodous, for the week of August 23 to 29, the ten most popular articles on Wikipedia, as determined from the report of the most viewed pages, were:

• Are you saying you want to do next week's Traffic Report? Serendi^podous 23:27, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would love to! Try me out and see what you think? EllenCT (talk) 23:28, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sure I suppose. Haven't seen a sample of your writing yet though. Serendi^podous 23:29, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please have a look through my contribs. I promise to make sure my coverage of controversial topics is grounded in data rather than opinion. EllenCT (talk) 23:31, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion is unavoidable here; often you can only guess which aspects of a topic drove its popularity. But go ahead if you want. You should really ask Milowent though, since it's his job you'll be taking over. Serendi^podous 23:58, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ellen, saw your note, sounds great, I'll reply further on my talk page!--Milowent • ^hasspoken 14:25, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
