Recently promoted level 3 vital article. Definitely a quarter and possibly a half depending on which date range you use. The award would go to ForksForks (talk · contribs). —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:27, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Verified: ForksForks is primary author, and saw the GA review through. No Main Page appearances detected in the year before promotion (it was linked from Articles for improvement and the Signpost shortly before this period). Looks like 450k views in the 365 days before promotion. Awarded. – Reidgreg (talk) 19:22, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recently promoted to GA, has had around 952k views in the past year, though a large spike of these views occurs from November-December 2023, due to the character appearing in the Doctor Who 60th anniversary specials. In the past 90 days the article has had 151k page views. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 05:15, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Verified: Primary contributor, initiated GAN and responded to reviewer. No Main Page appearances detected (was on the Top 25 report two years ago). Big spikes 26 Nov and 10 Dec, coinciding with broadcast dates for the specials. Assessing at 825k views in the 365 days before promotion. Awarded. – Reidgreg (talk) 19:24, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just promoted to FA. It was a million-award-winner when promoted to GA, and, per the note at WP:MILLION to "choose a one-year date range, such as 1/1/YYYY - 12/31/YYYY for the previous calendar year" might still qualify (1,175,316 views, including some spikes, in the calendar year 2023). However, views have gone down to a little under a million (excluding a main page appearance for DYK) in the year to date so maybe only a Three-Quarter Million Award?

Note: GA version awarded 6 April.

 Verified: Primary author, nominated for FAC and responded to reviewers. Main Page appearance 5 May 2024 (DYK). An even bigger spike 22 March, not sure what that was. Assessing at 920k views in the 365 days before promotion. Awarded. – Reidgreg (talk) 19:26, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Reidgreg. the spike on 22 March coincided with this Reddit post, which may be the reason. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 13:35, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Promoted to GA today, DYK hook already provisionally approved. Close to 2.3 million page views in the last year. Since May 2024 there has been a reduction in page views for reason unknown (possibly related to google AI preview rollout?). But with daily average page views since then still suggest an average close to a million views even if views don't pick up. The last 5 years average, which includes years of lower traffic, is 5,476,011 giving a daily average of 2,994. I hope this is sufficient for the 1 million award.

 Verified: Primary author (ahem), nominated for GA and responded to reviewer. I'm going to assess this as 2.3 million. Congrats, and thanks for your work on this vital article! Awarded and HOF. – Reidgreg (talk) 22:45, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
