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 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 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,

Dr. Keren Shatzman
