#142Earlier quoted context omitted.
> unnecessary surgeries I hope the doctors involved got a decent reprimand for that too...
The only example of surgery I saw was Botox for and then removal of the saliva gland, after the mother induced drooling by applying an anaesthetic prior to the doctor's examination. So yes there's some suspicions not reported or not well followed through on by some doctors and police, but it's clearly not that cut and dry, it was quite a fraud.
The Wikipedia page also mentions that “Tubes were implanted in her ears to control her myriad purported ear infections”.

#143Fascinating how many pages in the top 20 of today of topics I have never heard of. Seems like a great way to see what is being talked about in the culture, without depending on the news?
I noticed "Reacher (TV Series)" showed up. I guess we finally have a way to figure out what people are watching....

#144It's interesting that others seems to go the same route as I do for movies and TV shows and just use Wikipedia rather than IMDB. IMDB has become so awful to use and shows no sign of improving. Apparently IMDB don't believe that they have any competition and over the years people have just started to add the same information to Wikipedia.
IMDb is owned by Amazon. They use it for the Prime Video X-Ray functionality. IMDbPro is probably useful for some members of the industry (at $20 per month). Apart from that, the user ratings and reviews are still kind of useful.

#145What i found interesting: if you switch to “yearly”, most of the pages have almost 70-90% mobile visits, except the page on “Bible”, which has only 3% mobile. Could that be due to bots/scrapers?
Demographics, most likely.

#146Are people really reading Youtube, pornhub, facebook, Instagram pages this frequently or are these misclicks from search result page?
given the position of "sex" and "xxx" on the list, it seems like it's either misclicks, or just the worldwide population of teenage boys searching for things and ending up on wikipedia, probably because the site they're actually trying to get to is blocked.

#147Interesting that the 31st and 34th entries "gingering" and "figging" were both linked in a popular reddit thread yesterday: https://old.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/s/m7x0zo5XzU

#148So, mostly celebrities, media, and typos, like the rest of the internet. Fortunately, it's got a lot of other stuff too, and unlike the rest of the internet, you can just enter Wikipedia at the point of whatever you're looking up, without being bombarded by recommended content . It's completely self-serve. I'm glad that Wikipedia is not yet incentivized to maximize daily active users—or some other dumb metric—otherwi…
I don’t think “gingering” is a typo given that figging is a few ranks underneath

I think it could be some browser configuration, that your search setting points towards wikipedia. So that if you write "youtube" without the .com the browser will direct you to wikipedia instead.
Yes and also there are many that never use the address bar, they just google names. With this mindset, any text input with a lens icon is a way to reach pages... or sites... apps, stuff, whatever.
