Just checking in
You haven't edited in two days. Let me know if you still want to do this. Serendipodous 17:02, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
- are you planning to do the top 25? Serendipodous 15:03, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Serendipodous: I've been looking at the exclusion patterns, and I want to take some more time to study them. What can you tell me about articles like Overview effect which get almost entirely mobile views, according to the current WP:TOP5000? Because it was transient, [63] I think it should be ignored. I am not planning to comment on 11-15. EllenCT (talk) 16:02, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
- We don't have a lot of info about the all-mobile views, but one in particular, Angelsberg,was due to a bot basically load-testing the mobile Wiki servers. Others are probably spyware botnets checking for internet traffic. Basically, if it gets almost all mobile views, or almost none, you can bet it ain't human doing it.

Please be aware of the sanctions
Please read this notification carefully:
A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to electronic cigarettes.
The details of these sanctions are described here.
General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.
