Hi, I wonder if wikipedia only relies on this sort of external statistics
(like Alexa) to gather information about visits to the sites.
Aren't there statistcs collected on wikipedia servers itself? This would be
more useful and reliable.
BTW, if we want to know the popularity of an specific article (not a
specific wikipedia), is there a tool for that?
Regards,
Miguel.

Hence possibly messing up the statistics. It might well be the same for
other languages, in particular those for which the Alexa bar... is
simply not working/translated. So... be careful with the use of the
Alexa data. They are a very interesting feedback... but also to take
with a pinch of salt.
It's the same in Poland - I think very few Poles use Alexa bar.
