Microsoft, Movies, and Murder in Istanbul
For the week of October 14 to 20, 2018, the 25 most popular articles on Wikipedia, as determined from the WP:5000 report were:
Rank Article Class Views Image About 1 Jamal Khashoggi 1,364,473 The brutal store which captivated the world this sell revolves around Khashoggi, a journalist, famed in the West for his work with the Post, disappeared in the Saudi embassy in ByzantiumConstantinopleIstanbul, leading to (now confirmed) suspicions that he had been murdered by the Arabian authorities. Of course, Saudi Arabia was ostracized internationally owing to their blatant brutality...jk they have liquid gold.2 Paul Allen 1,141,490 Another dearg, though one with less geopolitical ramifications. Allen, along with his bespectacled friend founded Microsoft, and subsequently became one of the wealthiest men alive (and owner of the Seahawks). Sad day for fans of technology. Even sadder for Internet Explorer users, who are just finding out about his demise now. 3 The Haunting of Hill House (TV series) 1,082,865 4 A Star is Born (2018 film) 972,305 5 The Haunting of Hill House 907,143 6 Halloween (2018 film) 791,624 7 Venom (2018 film) 747,146 8 Deaths in 2018 694,717 Another week, another appearance in the Top 25 for the list of the deceased, buoyed this week by our top two entries. 9 Lady Gaga 577,955 Lady Gaga has become intimately reacquainted with the Fame Monster and its associated harbingers following her sublime starring turn in #5, and it is likely she will be in the Oscar conversation come awards time. Not bad for the musician, who intriguingly derived her stage name from our #13. 10 Neil Armstrong 507,392 11 2011 Norway attacks 499,637 12 Meghan, Duchess of Sussex 499,146 13 Freddie Mercury 486,248 Then I look, and I find, I still love you 14 Me Too movement #477,508 15 Bradley Cooper 450,639 Like Gaga (#9), Cooper's recent uptick in page views on Wikipedia stems from A Star is Born, which he both directed and starred in. A couple of Oscar nominations might go some way towards distracting Rocket Raccoon from his fallen friends. 16 Pete Davidson 409,555 Now we get some closure for an issue which infiltrated the Top 25 incessantly throughout the summer, as the media furore over the engagement of the SNL comedian and our #24 saw interest in their respective BLP's remain high. It peaked once again this week as the wedding bells were put on ice and their separation announced 17 Halloween (1978 film) 407,581 The franchise behind the best joke in Baby Driver returns to the multiplexes this weekend with #6. 18 Michael Myers (Halloween) 397,315 19 Patrick Mahomes 392,345 The rookie superstar suffered his first defeat in the NFL for the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday, as the rampant team saw their perfect record evaporate. In Mahomes' defence, however, his side did succumb to defeat against the best ever in his position. 20 Jamie Lee Curtis 385,940 21 Mohammad bin Salman 382,725 The charasmatic young leader of Saudi Arabia has been embroiled in controversy following the abduction and slaughtering of #1, causing some to speculate that, despite letting the women drive, the totalitarian leader may not actually be a champion of progress ideology. Murdering those who criticise you can cast doubts like that. Who knew? 22 Halloween (franchise) 359,693 23 Anders Behring Breivik 353,806 Breivik was a far right fanatic before that became cool stateside, and was responsible for scores of murders in his native Norway as the perpetrator of the heinous Utoya attack #11, now the subject of a Netflix series. 24 Ariana Grande 350,292 25 Beto O'Rourke 334,595 With mid-terms on the horizon, Wikipedians' attention has turned to Senate races, such as that of Texas, where it appears the young Democrat may oust the incumbent. It seems destined in the stars.
Exclusions
- This list excludes the Wikipedia main page, non-article pages (such as redlinks), and anomalous entries (such as DDoS attacks or likely automated views). Since mobile view data became available to the Report in October 2014, we exclude articles that have almost no mobile views (5–6% or less) or almost all mobile views (94–95% or more) because they are very likely to be automated views based on our experience and research of the issue. Please feel free to discuss any removal on the talk page if you wish.
