Wow didn't expect Pakistan Super League right up there in top 10 list. I couldn't watch the matches but I think some spicy things happened between random fans and Pakistan star batsman Babar Azam which may have triggered a spike in pageviews but Babar Azam silenced his critics with splendid performances in 2024 Pakistan Super League. He let his bat talk. --Abishe (talk) 03:15, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That "Superb Owl" joke was genius, an After Midnight-worth caption! : D Oltrepier (talk) 11:04, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand one user made over 20,000 edits to Legalism (Chinese philosophy) (98% of all edits), adding nearly 2.5 million bytes of text, yet currently only about 20,000 bytes long. -- GreenC 02:02, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GreenC: It started the year over 100 kb long. Yet in the last few months that same user decided to cut just about everything. I don't understand either. igordebraga ≠ 04:21, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And 20k edits.. for example, in the past 12 hours, they made about 10-15 edits within each hour - no hour was missed, and even within each hour, barely any 10 minute period went by without an edit. And what did they accomplish for 12 hours of sustained editing. And it goes on like that, day after day, in the same article. Prev discussion from last month: Wikipedia:Village_pump_(miscellaneous)/Archive_76#Legalism_(Chinese_philosophy) where it was noted this broke a "record for the highest number of edits by a single user to one article". It was explained as a "work process" issue. -- GreenC 04:58, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
