- To be honest, the articles about coverage of Russo-Ukrainian War and open access science might be worth a mention in the next ITM column! Oltrepier (talk) 20:23, 27 February 2025 (UTC)
- The link recommendation tool from "Orphan Articles: The Dark Matter of Wikipedia" is really nice! I'll definitely be making use of that in the future. But I think it's unfortunate that the authors described orphan articles as "de facto invisible", in light of the fact (from above) that >77% of readers come directly from a search engine, which presumably doesn't care much about orphanhood.

- Their "quasi-experiment" alleges that adding a new inbound link increases traffic, and I rather suspect that this to some degree is because search engines indeed check for links from other pages. Does anybody know enough to confirm or refute my suspicion? Jim.henderson (talk) 15:46, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
