Wager
I wager nine cheeseburgers. ButterCashier (talk) 18:11, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
- oh dear, i forgot to say that you needed a time as well. ltbdl (talk) 03:26, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
At least another 15 weeks. 9 cheeseburgers, with fries and a drink. Oliisawesome (talk) 11:15, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
- I wager a million- no, three cheeseburgers on 4 weeks. And a pint of milk. Lettuce Spice (talk) 14:14, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
Cargos de partidos políticos diseño 31.4.195.147 (talk) 12:58, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
- This is the English language encyclopedia, so please contribute in English, not Spanish. For those of you who don't speak Spanish, Google has translated this as "Political party offices design"? SSSB (talk) 14:09, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
You guys OK?
The current edition has some gaping holes in it. Do you want me to fill them? Serendipodous 22:09, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- go ahead! ltbdl (talk) 05:05, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
For those who missed it, Slate (and more specifically, Crunchydillpickle) mentioned us - only don't know if it enters the template atop this talk page, as it links to specific Reports rather than the main Top 25 page - even if like some videos the only person they credited was me (even for a Report I didn't do or TheJoebro64 talking about Inventing Anna) igordebraga ≠ 17:13, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- I have almost no recollection of writing that entry at all so I'm more amused some of my writing managed to make an RS than anything else, haha. Also, since I haven't been around here too much, I've gotten real life under control to a point where I can dedicate more time to Wikipedia so I'll probably start contributing here again with the next report.

Mobile Viewership
This might be the right time for this question, with the start of the 2024 Indian Premier League today. While I definitely agree that articles with primarily non-human views should be excluded from the list, it's a shame that many articles with actual human views are also excluded because of high mobile viewership. Last year, two articles - Indian Premier League and 2023 Indian Premier League - accumulated 32.4 million and 20.8 million views respectively, with 94-96% of the views from mobile phones. One look at Pageviews shows that most of the views for these articles came during the tournament. Considering that most Indians access the internet through their mobile phones, the reason for this high percentage of mobile views seems pretty clear. In fact, there are two more articles related to cricket that accumulated similar views on Wikipedia (2023 Cricket World Cup and Cricket World Cup), which suggests that the IPL's viewership numbers were legitimate. I'm sure there are some other articles that were excluded despite having actual views, but this was the example that I could think off the top of my head.
My point is that a hard blanket limit of 95% is not the best way to filter out articles with non-human views, as it results in the omission of articles with actual human views too, especially with the rise in mobile internet usage across the world since that rule was made 10 years ago. A better way would be to list the articles with over 95% mobile views and check if those views were random or if they are actually legitimate. - Rajan51 (talk) 17:40, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
