Dear all,
It's almost Christmas and the new year is coming around. At the end of each
year we publish a list of the most viewed Hebrew Wikipedia articles in the
past year.
We have a data point that appears to be anomalous: the article caffeine
<https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=he.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&range=this-year&pages=%D7%A7%D7%A4%D7%90%D7%99%D7%9F>received
more than 450K views on one day: 26th of September 2019. We can't see any
reason for such a surge and it is completely disproportionate. Even on
English Wikipedia caffeine
<https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&range=this-year&pages=Caffeine>hasn't
received so many views on one day - not even on the 8th of February
when Friedlieb Ferdinand Runge who identified caffeine was features on the
daily Google Doodle.
It seems this data point is erroneous. Is there any way to verify that, or
inquire where the error stems from?
Kind regards and seasons greetings,
