Harrison, Stephen (26 July 2021). "How to Use Wikipedia When You're Watching the Olympics". Slate. Retrieved 27 July 2021. Riddle me this: Michael Phelps came in first. Simone Biles was fourth. Aly Raisman and Katie Ledecky were fifth and sixth, respectively. Hint: The answer is not medal counts. Nor is it GOAT athlete status. Nope, those were the rankings of the most-visited pages on English Wikipedia for the week of Aug. 7, 2016, during the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Phelps' page received the most traffic that week, with more than 5.4 million page views, while Biles, Raisman, and Ledecky received more than 4.25 million page views, collectively.

Student Status Dispute[edit]

@Modulato: What do you mean by "no evidence from the National Student Clearinghouse"? Do you mean the NSC said she no longer attends the university? Do you mean the NSC said she never attended the university? Do you mean something different? SimoneBilesStan (talk) 00:37, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

He probably meant you are perpetrating a hoax in order to advertise your "University of the People". --151.35.171.246 (talk) 13:04, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
