Hoi, I have been asked the following ... can someone please help me with this information ? Thanks, GerardM
Dear Gerard,
We continue to analyze the Wikipedia traces. We are observing a strange phenomenon in recent traces. There has been a significant increase in the number of requests such as the following:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NoticeLocal/anon&actio... http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NoticeLoader&action=...
The meta.wikimedia.org requests are so common that they are more frequent than requests to the German Wikipedia.
We would like to know what these requests represent. Can you help us with this?
Thanks in advance, GU
At a glance, my first guess would be it's something to do with the site-wide notices that were used during the fundraiser.
