Everywhere they (experts) known where to find a most reliable source. So if non-expert people look for this kind of information in wikipedia, it´s clear than in spanish-speaking countries there is a bigger interest about it. And (where existing links works) is a good way to start to look for information in more reliable sources. Another point: this kind of articules has the lower level of failures, due to the fact that the editors used to be scientific-minded people.<br /><br />Maybe the reason is the relative lower importance of the pop culture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12046714.post-88000480115252387772009-09-14T10:51:56.046+02:002009-09-14T10:51:56.046+02:00what I think is curious is that we, Spanish people...what I think is curious is that we, Spanish people, can't find a most reliable source to look for sience information than wikipedia...

It's not that other countries are less interested in science, it's probably that they look for it in other places rather than wikipedia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12046714.post-10826860626155903392009-09-13T20:32:14.605+02:002009-09-13T20:32:14.605+02:00It´s curious that spain is most interested on scie...<i>It´s curious that spain is most interested on science articles than pop culture</i><br /><br />Not only Spain but all spanish speaking countires: Máxico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Venezuela, Perú, Cuba...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12046714.post-67408235927880365612009-09-13T19:39:27.136+02:002009-09-13T19:39:27.136+02:00It´s curious that spain is most interested on scie...It´s curious that spain is most interested on science articles than pop cultureAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12046714.post-16891494096857485112009-09-09T08:09:05.737+02:002009-09-09T08:09:05.737+02:00The Vietnamese Wikipedia’s 100 most viewed article...The Vietnamese Wikipedia’s <a href="http://wikistics.falsikon.de/2009/wikipedia/vi/" rel="nofollow">100 most viewed articles</a> (year to date, including ties, excluding special pages, portals, help pages, and categories):<br /><br />Category, avg. daily views, % views<br />Sex: 13,624 (32.6%)<br />History and historical figures: 7,893 (18.9%)<br />Geography: 5,701 (13.7%)<br />Politics and society: 4,846 (11.6%)<br />Culture and the arts: 3,449 (8.26%)<br />Popular Culture: 3,292 (7.88%)<br />Science and Tech.: 2,949 (7.06%)<br />Health: 0<br />Mathematics: 0<br /><b>Total:</b> 41,754<br /><br />Of these, 16,363 (39.2%) are related to Vietnam or the overseas Vietnamese population, and 1,372 (3.29%) relate to current events.Minh Nguyễnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05324999870791116456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12046714.post-27114730431076744562009-09-09T06:03:43.675+02:002009-09-09T06:03:43.675+02:00I'm amazed by the looming presence of Geograph...I'm amazed by the looming presence of Geographyor Science on fr: de: ru: and es:, and wonder what factors exactly could possibly explain it.
