Description

https://stats.wikimedia.org/ is showing unusually high page views in February from several countries, including Russia, India, and Khazakstan. These are countries where there are very few speakers of the languages concerned, and the countries have not been as highly listed in earlier months. It seems likely that bot activity is heavily skewing the data.
