Interesting. I assume you're graphing the total pageviews as recorded by Conservapedia? And that dip at the end is from epic deletion sprees? Star of David.png Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 05:18, 13 July 2008 (EDT)

I'm betting this is from Andy's updates of the main page templates. Page views were incremented, even with deletions of pages - there's a "page view" counter. When they upgraded that page view counter was updated to reflect the current sum(all page views). So the deletions finally caught up with them.
If possible I would redo the graph with add in the pre-post upgrade difference to everything post upgrade to get a smooth line. The upgrade does not represent a loss of pageviews, just a recalculation based on current values of page hits. Secondly, it would be interesting to see the first derivative (and maybe second too) graph as a double y chart. --Shagie 17:10, 13 July 2008 (EDT)
