WikiCharts: Top 100 pages on Wikipedia

WikiCharts is a simple tool that lists the top 100 most-viewed pages on Wikipedia, with other relevant traffic stats. It's been around since last year, but it's a fun (and expectedly humorous) way to waste time and see what kind of scholarly research is being conducted through the website, and how it reflects current news, if at all.

This month, 'List of Pokémon' breaches the top then, while 'Sex' stands at a strong #13, and 'Canada', 'Family Guy', 'List of sex positions', 'Ungdomshuset', and good ol' 'Abraham Lincoln' round out some popular entries in the top 50. Interestingly, 'Battle of Thermopylae' is all the way up at position three, undoubtedly due to the recent release of the film, 300. Anyway, worth checking out if you haven't already seen it, and the tool has a few tweak-able settings on the bottom of the page.
