User talk:Dcoetzee/List of Wikipedia articles with at least 1000 hits

Where did this list come from?
Talk:Cricket was discussing whether Cricket (insect) or Cricket (sport) was more popular. I used this article to argue that the insect is more popular. Someone else didn't believe the list. Could you explain the method used to collect the data? Nereocystis 20:46, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't know, but it is utterly unbelievable. October 2003 beats United States, but no other month is in the top few hundred. And you could write a list of dozens of such absurdities. CalJW 19:27, 10 October 2005 (UTC)


 * I'm similarly curious how this list was generated. I'd be fascinated by any insight you (or anyone else reading this) may have.

 * I've strengthened the warning because people are still referencing this list, but it is patent nonsense. What it may show is hits in some brief period, perhaps one day in October 2003. CalJW 20:26, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
