I was really surprised by how high wikimedia.org ranked.  Then I
looked at Alexa traffic details and realized why:

Where people go on Wikimedia.org:
upload.wikimedia.org - 73%
commons.wikimedia.org - 21%
meta.wikimedia.org - 3%
wikimedia.org - 1%
other websites - 2%

http://www.alexa.org/data/details/traffic_details?url=wikimedia.org

So 21% of wikimedia.org hits are for commons, and 73% are to
upload.wikimedia.org (for images, probably the vast majority being
inline Wikipedia images).
