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?

Erik

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.
