Is there anything anywhere (apart from the long thread on ANI) about
the effect on traffic for Wikipedia?
Ah. Here we go:
http://stats.grok.se/en/200906/Michael_Jackson
6.4K hits to to 1.4M.
That's a traffic spike right enough.
Yeah; for what it's worth, 2300 to 0000 UTC was just short of a
million hits. Today, I wouldn't be surprised to see it north of four.
Once you factored in those going to redirect pages it was about 1.1
million.
Where do the hourly hits stats come from?
[[Wikipedia:Popular pages]] -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Popular_pages You can check the
history for prior hours.
Two thirds of the most popular pages in the past hour are related to Michael
Jackson.
