That's not really true - apart from the statistical error, there are also systematic errors, and those remain when a single person is insignificant enough not to influence the statistics. For example, it used to be (I haven't checked recently) that Korean files came out relatively high in the Alexa rankings - presumably because the Alexa toolbar usage was high in Korea. -- André Engels, [email protected] _______________________________________________ Wiki-research-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
