May someone update manual in which it is written that Wikipedia is the fifth site by traffic? For the most of 2010 and whole 2011 it has varied between 6th and 8th place [1].
Repeating that it's on the 5th place says about us one or both of the next two things:
- We are out of reality.
- We are using false information in our PR.
I would say that it is about repeating an information written somewhere again and again. However, it is not so obvious to outsiders.
I dunno if we need to be that specific. I doubt people take the '5th place' wording as literal. It is more to get a sense of Wikipedia's popularity online rather than stating specifically where we are. Though, perhaps a more imprecise wording like 'in the top 10' might be a better offer.
Then, more accurate wording would "one of the top ten sites by traffic". Which still says a lot about Wikipedia's popularity.
