The Explore feed in Android and iOS(?) currently displays the top read articles from yesterday. There is a proposal (T140102) to replace and/or supplement this feed with articles that have seen a recent uptick in edits ([trending articles](https//:trending.wmflabs.org)) because this feed is updated in real time, and is less likely to contain stale recommendations.
This study will inform this proposal by attempting to answer the following questions:
# overall, do people prefer lists that are based on recent page views, or recent edits?
# which list contains more articles around topics that people are familiar with from external news sources?
# do people perceive a difference in recency/up-to-dateness between the two sources of recommendations?
# are any of the factors above mediated by time of day, country of origin, level of Wikipedia use, or daily news consumption?
