How it unfolded

Readers a day, all 5 people118K at the peak

This is readers, added together. It is not what the people below are ordered by.

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

Languages, not countries.

70 days have to pass before we can say whether a rise lasted. 3 of these have not had them yet.

The rise showed up in the Wikipedia editions in English, German and Spanish.

One of these had no measurable readership before this, so there is no rise to place them by.

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