  • Game of Thrones collectively takes top spot. I suspect the total number of man-hours watching Game of Thrones in a single week exceeds the total man hours to create all of Wikipedia. -- GreenC 13:47, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting point. You think I should merge them? That would free up some space in the top 10. Serendipodous 15:50, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sure why not. I think it's all sort of the same thing anyway the articles are just split for practical space considerations, and it frees up spots as you say, plus highlights the real popularity of the show. -- GreenC 16:00, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I understand the desire to consolidate in order to make room for other topics. But I'd argue against it, in this case it is obvious they are about the same subject but things can get fuzzy very quickly. Better to rate them on an article basis. If people want to see the longer listing, they can look at the Top 25 (which I always check out) or even the Top 5000. Liz Read! Talk! 16:20, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I really appreciate the work that goes into this article, week after week. So, just a quibble: I asked for a correction last week, which was made, and the same error now appears in this issue. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 20:16, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Two weeks in a row in which a Google Doodle sent readers to a featured article on a female notable. And this week we have two featured articles on female notables topping the traffic list. Well done, Wikipedia! Powers T 21:00, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
