Does the Wikimedia Foundation's technology team have any insight or comment on the finding that (other than the Wikipedia Main Page and the "404 error" page), in September the most popular page on the English Wikipedia was "Mathematical descriptions of opacity", with over 5.1 million views? There was no discernible "bump" in interest in opacity due to outside news events or a book or movie release on the subject.
The phenomenon is outlined here: http://www.examiner.com/wiki-edits-in-national/wikipedia-s-top-10-most-viewe...
Do you think this is some sort of malicious probing activity by a hacker, or is it perhaps the deliberate testing of a developer employed by the WMF?
Thank you,
Greg
