  • Suffering from massive fan cruft this bloated article would be a fun and easy article to fix because it needs to be pruned rather than plumped up. It is 152,544 bytes in length including prose, links, etc. Currently it is a B-class article receiving over 30,000 page views per month and we could probably bring it up to G.A. or F.A. status. It has 11 dead links.

    • Comment - I find it interesting and personally like it; sourcing seems to be reasonably available at a glance (it definitely seems to meet notability requirements), but I question the encyclopedic value of it.—Godsy(TALKCONT) 07:38, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • He is one of Swedens best known directors, he has directed music videos for singers like Madonna, and has won several international awards over the years. The article is in really bad shape. Article can easily be expanded a lot, and sourced better.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:02, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Richard Rohr – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 102 daily hits

  • This article is about an active speaker and published writer who is breaking new ground. The article has had several tags since 2013 and one since 2009. I think it's time to update this article.(I'm sorry but I don't know how to find "Number of daily hits".) Corinne (talk) 19:53, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Corinne: There's a link to "Page view statistics" if you click on "View history" of a page, next to several other options. The template used to nominate articles also generates a "page view stats" link. Using this, you can take the page view stats for the past, say, 30 days and divide it by 30 by typing the sum into Google. Thanks, Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 11:24, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Rubbish computer I'm sorry. I just saw this. Thank you. I have found the number of views for the article, but what do you mean by "typing the sum into Google"? Just type the number into the Google search bar? Corinne (talk) 02:05, 19 January 2016 (UTC) I just calculated it by dividing the figure for 30 days by 30. It's 102. Corinne (talk) 03:07, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Corinne: Yeah, that's what I meant: sorry if it wasn't clear. Thanks, Rubbish computer (HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 10:19, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Corinne. You can use Google search box as a natural language calculator or you can use symbols. So, in this case you could use: 3060 divided by 30 or you could use: 3060/30
The Google calculator is fun: You can ask it: 5 parsecs in lightyears, or: 3.2 acres in hectares, and it will pump out a nice result after you hit the ↵ Enter key.
To find the hits per day, you can preview your submission here, right-click (so you don't lose your edit) on the "page view stats" link, wait for the results, then click on the "30" link to make sure you are seeing the 30-day stats, and then divide that number by 30 using your head or a calculator. For some reason many pages have easy to divide numbers. One of my hobbies is adding the daily hit stats to submissions by Northamerica1000.

  • This is a term in the Orpheus article (last paragraph of the section Orpheus#Death of Eurydice).
