Traffic report
The verdict is guilty, guilty, guilty
- This traffic report is adapted from the Top 25 Report, prepared with commentary by Igordebraga (March 28 to April 24), Benmite, FunksBrother (March 28 to April 3), TheConflux (April 4 to 10), Kingsif (April 4 to 17), and SSSB (April 18 to 24).
Death, canal obstructions, crimes being punished, and whatever people are watching (be it movies, series, or outlandish music videos). Lots of subjects got popular to make us forget about how 4 months in, 2021 is still held down by the goddamned pandemic and other 2020 annoyances.

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.

I find it interesting how there's often more traffic to pages for people involved in notable events (e.g. Derek Chauvin, George Floyd) than the events themselves (e.g. State v. Chauvin, Murder of George Floyd). I suspect the issue is something to do with the way people Google things or the way Google ranks results, but I don't really know what we could do about it. It's an issue, though, because people seemingly aren't finding their way to the most relevant information. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 22:39, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have a reliable source for the claim that Charles, Prince of Wales has inherited the title Duke of Edinburgh? I have a source (Whitaker's Almanack 2013, p.40) that says "In June 1999 Buckingham Palace announced that the current Earl of Wessex will be granted the Dukedom of Edinburgh when the title reverts to the Crown." Which it hasn't, yet. Charles is already a duke twice over (Cornwall, Rothesay) and doesn't need another dukedom. Philip Trueman (talk) 08:09, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
