Please let us have correct grammar[edit]

I changed "people has" to "people have". The word "people" is a plural word, and so should have the appropriate form of the verb, even if the verb is in past tense. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 00:15, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Are the things under "software limitations" really software limitations?[edit]

Are the things listed here under software limitations really software limitations? It seems to me that knowing why people viewed an article is something to do with human psychology and not computer software. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 11:33, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The page view statistics needs to be taken with a pinch of salt[edit]

Perhaps it should be placed in the article that page view statistics need to be taken with a pinch of salt. I just did the "Page view statistics" click on the later singer of the Monkees, Davy Jones, only to be told that the article had been viewed 0 times in the last 30 days. This was nonsense, as I had viewed the article - also, looking at its edit history, the article appears to have had numerous edits on 29 February 2012 (and also a few edits on 11 February 2012).

It now seems OK there on Davy Jones - it appears to be giving what are likely to be more accurate readings. ACEOREVIVED (talk) 09:28, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How often is this page read[edit]

It may be of interest to know how many times this article has been viewed in the past 30 days. I did a search just now and found out that it has been viewed 52 times in the past 30 days, as from April 26 2012 - so not a terribly heavily viewed article.
