Huge discrepancies in #visits/#speakers of the language. Extreme example that caught my attention:<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_language" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_language</a>: 23.5 million native speakers of Dutch.<p>This article: top dutch-language Wikipedia page had 12.7 million visits. Those 32-33 million searches for 'Facebook'on English Wikipedia pale in comparison. Could all those visitors read that page?

I'd really like to know the stories behind some of these. Why is favicon the second most searched for entry in Wikipedia in China?
