Does anyone know of an explanation for the sudden drop in traffic on Wikipedia these past couple weeks? I just happened to notice because I'm writing a paper and needed the lastest alexa ranking. See: http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?&range=&size=larg…

Actually, the ranking and daily reach per million have both dropped as well (June 18 // daily=30). The 3 month average has yet to catch-up -- functioning as intended to smooth over this (hopefully?) temporary dip in traffic. -mike / user:here On 6/20/06, Andrea Forte <andrea.forte(a)gmail.com> wrote:

My first reaction was: LOL. But then I thought... wait, why is the raking still 16? is ALL internat traffic down? and I'll be damned. EVERY site seems to be down. The world cup seems to have obviated need for other information input. andrea On 6/20/06, Tim 'avatar' Bartel <wikipedia(a)computerkultur.org> wrote:

As an American, I find this hard to believe. But I am in Germany at the moment, and frankly, it seems reasonable. :) Andrea Forte wrote:
