About wikipedia traffic rating:
Wikipedia is now one of the 25 (NOT 35) most visited
websites in the world:

Can we update this information on the wikimedia
foundation homepage?
Since this topic has been brought up, I'd like to make mention that
the other sister projects aren't doing too bad either
Wikibooks:
http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?&compare_sites=&y…
happens to be in the top 6,000 websites, and is one of the leading
e-text websites that has independent measure on Alexa.
Gutenberg.org
is the only one that ranks higher at the moment that I can tell from,
and that is a close call. Wikibooks simply blows out of the water
almost all other e-text websites of any kind, for profit or not.
Wikinews has very similar stats, Wiktionary is actually outperforming
Wikibooks currently, and Wikiquote is almost dead even with Wikibooks.
BTW, you can look at Wikispecies for your own enjoyment.
All of them have shown recent growth as well, and not all of this
growth can be directly attributed to spin-off from Wikipedia.
Wikimedia.org is in the top 1000 at the moment by itself, although it
would be hard pressed to see what the traffic is between Meta and
Commons as Alexa lumps them together for traffic ratings.
I was curious about that too, and looked at all that before I saw
Robert's answer. Two other tidbits! The second most popular language
for Wiktionary is Russian. For Wikisource it's Arabic!
