It wouldn't surprise me if the US figures were even lower. There's
already been a comment about the hits for South Africa being
ridiculously low. The US national domain, .us, is relatively uncommon,
and many people from other countries use a .com, .org, .net or even .gov
domain. One wonders to what extent that has been factored into the
statistics.

there are some
interesting things to observe. First, as I have personally felt for a
long time, Wikipedia is most popular (per capita) in German-speaking
countries. In Germany, for example, there were .3749 pageviews per
person (for whatever time period Kate studied, a day?), as compared to
.2519 in the United States.
