4 people were read far more than usual in the days before and after.

This moved 4 people

Ordered by how far each rose above their own usual readership, not by fame.

The rise showed up in the Wikipedia editions in German, English and Spanish. Languages, not countries.

70 days have to pass before we can say whether a rise lasted. 4 of these have not had them yet.

3 of these rose at the same time, without our being able to tie them to this.
