Perhaps our readers aren't getting their topics of interest on Wikipedia,
partly because Wikipedia is becoming nothing more than a biographical
encyclopedia.

Our data is only comparable between May 2015 and Dec
2017 so:
Nov/Dec/Jan 15/16 total 15.7, 14.6, 16.2
Nov/Dec/Jan 16/17 total 16.4, 15.5, 17.0
Nov/Dec/Jan 17/18 total 15.3, 14.3, 16.4 (last number an estimate)
So went up from 15/16 to 16/17 and now come down in 17/18 to about were it
was in 15/16. We are definitely not seeing growth in pageviews though which
is concerning.

In order to have at least a partial answer we
would need to know how the
pageviews relate to actual database traffic I assume? That would explain
Google and I do not know whether there are any other services worldwide
that use the datastram without actually displaying pages.

Is there any insights of why this is so? Could it be that Google take
