The Wikipedia:Top 25 Report was created in January 2013. This page is part of an archive project to preserve data from previous popular page reports.

Last month's report - Newer: See December 2002 report
(Please let us know if you aware of lists for December 2001 - November 2002, or any other missing months in our archives.)

This report is a list of the most viewed Wikipedia articles for November 2001. It is taken from a historical version of Wikipedia:Most popular pages as it existed on December 10, 2001, at: [1]. This list was created by Jimmy Wales on 10 Dec 2001 with comment "Announcing! New Stats for November!".

November 2001

edit

"The following list is the most popular pages for November, 2001. This is based on a fairly ad hoc method of adjusting for unique visitors.

It is perhaps noteworthy that such a large percentage of the most popular pages have something to do with the terrorist attacks and aftermath, including the war. SEE BELOW -- I have also produced a hand-edited list, omitting the war-related topics."
