There are ridiculous quantities of anime on the English Wikipedia too. It’s a good first resource for the topic, in fact.

I’m just kinda surprised at the fact that Mai-HiME is on the second place. XD

But I thought all Japanese people were otakus. Has anime lied to me?

That’s odd that the Indian Rebellion of 1857 is just smack dab in the middle there, right below Kirby (which interest in him above other game series is astonishing) and right above Yattaman.

And hey, we’ll all be dead eventually and nothing will matter, so I say let people enjoy what they will while they’re here. =)

The thing with an entry for a long running TV series (which in Japan usually means anime), is that the fans update it every time a new episode airs. So “most updated” over a long period of time doesn’t necessarily reveal a lot about the interests of the bulk of wikipedia users.

The same can be said for WWE in France, since changes in the roster, etc. are kept up-to-date by the diehard fans while many people may not care at all.

Huh? The Indian Mutiny? Why such interest?

I guess it’s logical, given that it was probably one of the first (if not THE first) articles, but I have to laugh at Wikipedia being among the Top 5 Edited Articles on Wikipedia.

Meanwhile, I didn’t expect the French to be such WWE fans! Are all these edits coming from Quebecois or what?
