A bit of an aside, but how should one read the ebb and flow of the edits per minute chart? I assume the peaks are during evening in America? Lampman (talk) 10:57, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * It seems to peak around 19:00 UTC, when most of the western world is awake (1pm - 4pm for the US).  Jujutacular  talk 13:19, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Interesting that the usual ebb and flow cycle was disrupted the next day after the blackout. The normal peak around 19:00 was late. Powers T 14:35, 26 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Q: "Mobile service provider Orange had made a three-year commitment" Had made? Until what? Or is that a typo for "has"/"have" (depending on ENGVAR) --Dweller (talk) 17:49, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * "There is no financial exchange with the partnership between Orange and the Wikimedia Foundation." I have literally no idea what this means. --Dweller (talk) 17:50, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Ah. A "financial exchange" sounds like a Wall Street rival. --Dweller (talk) 21:54, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, in the Orange deal, data charges will not be incurred for images. Orange has agreed to make access to the full version of Wikipedia, including images, free of data charges. Ijon (talk) 18:42, 26 January 2012 (UTC)


 * What is the relationship between the versions served up by the Orange Project, Wikipedia Zero and WikiReader? Guy Macon (talk) 22:42, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
