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.

Hey now, Clone High is not "forgotten"! Especially since it features the best take on Gandhi in all of Western media.

(Though the Gandhi from the original 1991 release of Sid Meier's Civlization would've been a close second, if only the story of an integer underflow bug that flipped peace-loving Gandhi's Aggression stat to maximum and turned him into a warmongering Nuclear warlord were actually true. But alas, as our own article notes, there's no evidence to support the bug rumor. And fairly compelling evidence that the whole thing was fabricated decades later, for the lulz.) -- FeRDNYC (talk) 04:50, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"Can afford not to hear about American politics" I really don't like it when Americans think non-American people have it better at their home countries -Gouleg🛋️ (Talk • Contribs) 15:37, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think the author's nationality matters in this comment. Think of us all as Wikipedians. But I'd guess the author is not American in any case. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 01:25, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nationalistic

Badly written. U.S.-centric. A disgrace. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 04:02, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- It's U.S-centric because it reflects a period where everyone (though possibly mostly Americans) went checking on every article related to the election. And continuing the short discussion above, a great reminder for this Brazilian writer that the politics are as bad there as in his country. igordebraga ≠ 16:26, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
