The hypothesis to be falsified here would seem to be, "Google searches drive Wikipedia page views".

In order to test the hypothesis that accuracy and pertinence drives page
views on the English Wikipedia,
http://stats.grok.se/en/latest90/United%20States
and http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=United_States&action=history
as well as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:United_States
were examined on December 7, 2013. Tentative confirmation of the hypothesis
is pending others' perspectives on the questions:
How strong is the association?
What are the possible causation paths?
Are there any possible common causes?
