Traffic report

Darkness and light

Share this

Summary: The tragedy in Paris, of course, had an impact on the list this week, with three slots in the top 10. Nonetheless, there is some nobility in the fact that, rather than let the nightmare top the list, we instead gave it to Hedy Lamarr's unsung contribution to the development of wireless technology, and that we didn't let current conflicts affect our annual commemoration of those who have died in past ones. It seems only fitting that the Hindu festival of Diwali, which signifies the victory of light over darkness, made its annual appearance this week. The very predictability of its return became an act of defiance.

"not known as titans of the filmmaking world"? *glare* ;o) — OwenBlacker (Talk) 23:02, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, I do live in London. I'm not speaking from ignorance; the British film industry isn't doing too well at the moment. Serendi ^pod ous 23:33, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's great to see Hedy Lamarr receive 2.7M views in one week, that is remarkable. I'm glad more people know about her inventive achievements. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 00:00, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Veteran's Day

I'm thrilled to see Veteran's Day on the list, all the more so since these days no one takes the time to celebrate anything in the month of November in the US - its straight from September/October to Christmas. TomStar81 (Talk) 01:20, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not death metal

Must point out that Eagles of Death Metal are not a death metal band. Montanabw ^(talk) 02:55, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
