Wikipedia article traffic deals with the statistics of user access to Wikipedia articles. Commonly known as hits, the graphic portrayal of these numbers may produce surprising results and insights.
Correlations
Events as deaths, scandals, international media transmissions, etc. causes instantaneous audience, producing significant peaks in the article's traffic. Usually, at Wikipedia, two articles with "correlated subjects" have links between them, so the audience navigates from one to another, as well as web search engines can point to both (by users-view of the subjects).[no citations needed here] Illustrated examples:
Paco de Lucía's article correlations at 2014-02-16.
