Traffic report

Is there no justice?

This traffic report is adapted from the Top 25 Report, prepared with commentary by Igordebraga, Kingsif and Rebestalic.

Our lives are still hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic, but Wikipedia readers don't seek the article on this disease as much as they seek other unsavory subjects such as politics and police brutality. They also remember the recently deceased and seek info on distractions, such as movies and streaming shows.

In my culture, death is not the end. It’s more of a stepping-off point. (August 23 to 29)

Exclusions

These lists exclude the Wikipedia main page, non-article pages (such as redlinks), and anomalous entries (such as DDoS attacks or likely automated views). Since mobile view data became available to the Report in October 2014, we exclude articles that have almost no mobile views (5–6% or less) or almost all mobile views (94–95% or more) because they are very likely to be automated views based on our experience and research of the issue. Please feel free to discuss any removal on the Top 25 Report talk page if you wish.

Wasn't the #Cancelnetflix hashtag started by people (with the analysis depth level of a kiddy pool and destroying a WOC filmmaker's career in the process) reacting to Mignones instead of Mulan? especially since Mulan is hosted on Disney+ and not Netflix... -Gouleg🛋️ (Talk • Contribs) 14:21, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- You're right, Rebestalic confused the hashtags (and blame me and the Signpost reviewers for the oversight). Fixed. igordebraga ≠ 14:57, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

1984 Dune

"reviled"??? Most people who dislike the David Lynch version wouldn't go so far as to say "reviled" (such a strong word). Stranger still when there are a lot of people who actually like it (it has a strong cult following), and even the director of the new film, Denis Villeneuve, is taking a number of cues from that version. Detractors are more baffled, frustrated, and annoyed by many choices in that film, but "reviled" isn't usually the adjective. — al-Shimoni (talk) 13:29, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The adjective might have been too strong, but the movie certainly has a mostly bad reputation even if with a share of fans - the opposite of the other movie I raised on that write-up, Blade Runner, which was negatively received upon release but then gained a fandom, was influential, and became hailed as a masterpiece. Anyway, sorry if you felt my choice of words was inadequate. igordebraga ≠ 17:58, 3 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
