accuracy and pertinence drives English Wikipedia page views?

[James Salsman]

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?
