We may be fifth by Comscore data, but as Comscore discards data from Public computers such as Internet Cafes that 365 million unique visitors per month significantly understates our reach. It may overstate our rank if there are sites that are disproportionately popular amongst surfers who use Internet cafes, I suspect it skews things geographically, and that some of our non-English versions will be more impacted by this than EN wiki. One of the things I noticed in Buenos Aires was that there seemed to be far more Internet cafes than in London - presumably this is a matter of economics and it would be unfortunate if we underrated the importance of some of our language versions simply because their readers were more likely to use internet cafes.
