A #brilliant idea barnstar

User:West.andrew.g provides really neat information about the English #Wikipedia. He shows the "popular redlinks".

This is a weekly list of the most requested red links on Wikipedia. It was developed as a corollary of the Top 5000. While this list contains many non-human views, this list can help identify notable topics and search requests that should be created or redirected. This list displays redlinks that have 1000+ views in the prior week interval (run on Sunday mornings, UTC locale). 

Information like this is so valuable; it shows what people are looking for and cannot find. It is highly likely that adding information about these subjects will result in many more page views. As a Wikipedia becomes better able to provide information, it will at some stage reach the tipping point where it is really useful. For many Wikipedias this is still a goal we are aiming for,

Presenting Sue's barnstar

Sue, the #Wikimedia Foundation director presents her own barnstar to deserving Wikimedians. Guess what, she speaks English and wants to present her barnstar to people of all projects and all languages who deserve recognition.

As I am in the Office for a week, I have been given the honour to present you "the program" and explain what else Sue gets out of it.

What Sue does is test the software and it works for her best when it is fully localised. She is looking for people she does not know personally and therefore is looking for people from the community to make suggestions to her. Sue likes it best when there is a story attached to the suggestion.
Thanks,
