These statistics are really a great addition to Wikimedia Statistiks.
It seems to me that the declines in February and August in most of the
Wikipedia language editions relate to holidays?
It is amazing how many views the vo.WP shows. My theory is that the views
for a Wikipedia partly are not views from people how actually speak the
language. I suppose that a lot of Volapük views come from e.g. English
speaking people who see the en.WP article about their home town in the US
and then check the articles in other language editions.
Fy.WP has much better developped than co.WP, with ten times of the "real
articles", but it has only three times as many views. But fy.WP has only few
geographical stubs and similar pseudoarticles, compared to co.WP. In co.WP,
only ten % are real articles, the rest are Spanish or Italian cities (and
similar pseudo articles).

For those who haven't seen it, Erik Zachte has
incorporated pageview
statistics (based on Domas' data aggregation scripts, which are also
used by stats.grok.se and others) into WikiStats.
