Hi, when you write "we do not inform them how many reads were done for new articles" you don't include all wikis, I hope. In the history section of the articles on Bulgarian Wikipedia [0] there is a link to a pageviews analysis [1] where everyone can see how often the article was read in the last up to 90 days.
