Regarding Arrow (TV series), I can't see how this would cause a big jump, but WCCB changed its affiliation to The CW on July 1.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 21:38, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think the Spike in interest with the Arrow had to do with it being listed in a list of most downloaded episodes from file-sharing services (I forget where exactly this list was). Then people (like me) where like - zuh? the Arrow? Really? That's one of the top downloaded shows? Really? And I imagine a number of them went to Wikipedia because they had no idea what this show was or why it would be so popular (I knew what it was, but I am still unsure as to why it is so popular) 173.61.149.213 (talk) 15:29, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In regards to Yahoo!, the company has been in the news quite a bit recently. I'd guess that people like me who thought that it had gone out of business ages ago are Googling it and the Wikipedia article is one of the top results. Nick-D (talk) 23:15, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
