Peering at the Alexa graphs, it seems that WP has within the past day or so gone ahead of bbc.co.uk, the BBC website, on all three standard measures. This means that either we enter the Top 20 Websites very shortly - or the servers China Syndrome on us (which considering that two of the three graphs are for practical purpose going vertical in 2006, and the third shows page hits doubling in December, they might well do).
WP Air - message from the flight crew - please fasten your seatbelts, clear-air turbulence ahead - and the rest is in your hands, if not laps.

Heavens. It's true. The current one-day ranking for wikipedia.org is 20; for bbc.co.uk, it's 22. <boggle>
Let's hold off on the champagne for a little while longer, though. One-day ranks are EXTREMELY sensitive to flukes, and we cannot discount the possible effect the recent holidays have had on Web traffic across much of the world.

That does make sense, Wikipedia is awfully slow today.
