Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/Statistics 2011
New version of page edit
I've been watching (and reading and editing) TFAs for some time now and have been interested in which topic areas and regions produce the greatest response from Wikipedia's readers. I've been keeping notes for a while and thought it would be useful to develop them into a running log of TFAs, specifically to identify correlations, which I have created here (with the most viewed TFAs moved to Wikipedia:Today's featured article/Most viewed). I hope other editors will find this useful. One thing that I have noticed is that TFAs relating to the United States or United Kingdom are very dominant - this suggests that perhaps there needs to be more work done on non-US/UK articles to bring them up to featured standard.

- Fantastic idea, well done for this, oh wait, mine had the lowest page views for the year thus far?! Oh well ....XD Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:04, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
- Actually no! John L. Helm got the lowest and Rinaldo (opera) the second lowest, so yours is only third. The most viewed three so far have been Cottingley Fairies (100K+), L. Ron Hubbard and Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Prioryman (talk) 09:59, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
Past years edit
Yeah, I just noticed this and it made me wonder if there are any plans to make some tables for the previous years. GamerPro64 (talk) 18:42, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
Statistical oddness edit
I've not updated the stats for the last three days' TFAs yet because, frankly, they don't make any sense. Anthony Roll [1], The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (film) [2] and Final Fantasy XII [3] show no increase whatsoever in usage. Does anyone know what's going on?
