Hello researchers near and far -<div><br></div><div>I was notified by some people from the Portuguese Wikipedia community about an anomaly in the page view statistics between May 30-June 15 for several of their help pages:</div>
<div><ul><li><a href="http://stats.grok.se/pt/latest90/Ajuda:P%C3%A1gina_principal">Ajuda:Página_principal</a> (Help:Contents)[1]</li><li><a href="http://stats.grok.se/pt/latest90/Wikip%C3%A9dia:P%C3%A1gina_de_testes">Wikipédia:Página_de_testes</a> (Wikipedia:Sandbox)[2]</li>
<li><a href="http://stats.grok.se/pt/latest90/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Boas-vindas">Wikipédia:Boas-vindas</a> (Wikipedia:Welcoming Committee/Welcome to Wikipedia)[3]</li></ul><div>There is not a matching increase in number of page views of the main page[4], nor is there a similar spike in other language projects.</div>
<div><br></div><div>They are wondering if anyone has any thoughts on why this could be, or suggestions on ways they could answer some further questions. Has anyone seen something like this previously?</div><div><br></div>
<div>Thanks in advance for the help!</div><div>Jessie</div><div><br></div><div> </div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="http://stats.grok.se/pt/latest90/Ajuda:P%C3%A1gina_principal">http://stats.grok.se/pt/latest90/Ajuda:P%C3%A1gina_principal</a></div>
