Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2015-10-14/Traffic report

Screens, sport, Reddit, and death

For the second consecutive week, the most viewed article had less than one million views, the only two weeks that has happened in all of 2015. Five of the top 10 this week are television or movie related articles, two are football-related, two are Reddit-fueled entries, and the last is the perennial favorite Deaths in 2015, whose average 550,000 views every week tends to rise into the top 10 when other things are not drawing our attention.

As for Wikipedia editors, the list of the most edited articles over the same period (October 4–10), led by recent Nobel Prize winner Svetlana Alexievich, has little overlap with the most viewed list; see here.

For the full top-25 list, see WP:TOP25. See this section for an explanation of any exclusions.

John W. Curry in 1867 was the first recorded US black letter carrier back in 1867, and I rather felt he deserves an article. Please find material to add to it - I suspect he would make a nice article at some point as well. Collect (talk) 22:07, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
