I can't reach IRC right now (I'm on the wrong machine), but can someone tell me if the Amsterdam servers are down or if it's just my computer playing causing my inability to reach Wikipedia?
It happened at exactly the same articles I was looking at yesterday...
Seems to have been slow for many people in tha past day.
The good news: WP reach at Alexa says now 1.8%, a new record.

Yes: overall reach continues to follow the steady exponential rising trend which has been visible for the last two years.
Page view rates have been stuck on a plateau for about a month and a half, presumably due to server capacity saturation, which, given the continued rise in reach, can only get worse in the short term.
A graph of the Alexa data for reach can be seen at http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?&range=2y&size=lar...
Does anyone know if there are any more servers on order?

Agree. OTOH WP is a reference site. There will be many people who come to WP with the aim of looking up some one thing. This gives a natural pattern of short visits, not surfing around. The overall reach shows the users who arrive knowing they want to look something up, plus the input from search engines. We shouldn't get too hung up about the number of page views. If people find what they want on the first page they view, so much the better.

It's a server-side issue. Keep trying; you'll get through eventually.
