I am surprised that the new data, with crawlers excluded, show more wp:en traffic from US (43%) than the old data (36.4% for 2014), which contained much crawler traffic, presumably most of that from US.
Compare https://ironholds.shinyapps.io/WhereInTheWorldIsWikipedia/ and http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageViewsPerLanguageBreakdown.htm Any thoughts?

Subject: Re: [Analytics] [Wiki-research-l] [Release] The one major caveat, I think, is that the danger of proportionate data is that it makes small projects very vulnerable to artificial traffic spikes. I'd go out on a limb and say that some of the massive bumps in popularity we see in particular combinations are likely due to either undetected automata or simply a project having so little traffic that a small number of people can sway the results outlandishly.
