Why does Royal Rumble (2015) with 1,245,749 views rank ahead of American Sniper (film) which has 1,511,250? Hawkeye7 (talk) 02:10, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, the Sniper number still had the artifact of last week's views, the correct number is 807,758 (see [1]). I apologize for the confusion I caused.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 04:37, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Here is my second try at a top-20 by both edits and editors, ranked by the product of their logarithms, and weighted in an attempt to balance the rank by exceptional numbers of either equally:

This can be re-created from this query. This version counts all IP editors as the same editor, but the version you can see at that query now counts distinct IP addresses as different editors. I think I like this one better because it has Delhi Legislative Assembly election, 2015 instead of The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water but who am I to judge? Milowent and @Serendipodous: do you have any automation for extracting top image and article class? EllenCT (talk) 13:35, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fascinating work, EllenCT! The WP:5000 pulls the article class when compiled, but we create this report by manually selecting the image, and copying the article class from the WP:5000).--Milowent • ^hasspoken 05:43, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
