North America and Europe). This is because Wikipedia\u2019s main source of new traffic is Google which is primarily used in Europe and North America. Moreover, the English and European-language bias of the internet means that most language Wikipedias won\u2019t have as strong of a signal for demand as English language content</span></span></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"font-size: 14px; overflow: hidden; padding: 10px 10px; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; word-break: normal; border: 0px solid black;\">\n<p></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #71d1b3;\"><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 40px;\">Second</strong></strong></span></p>\n</td>\n<td style=\"font-size: 14px; overflow: hidden; padding: 10px 5px; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; word-break: normal; border: 0px solid black;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\">topics that don\u2019t have an organic public attention (and thus Google search presence), may have smaller but more important ways of being relevant. For example, many topics are taught in classrooms, workshops or other academic environments. From a topics for impact perspective, an article that gets 100k pageviews a month on English Wikipedia because it\u2019s a popular movie, may be much less strategic than working on a 5-10k pageview a month article that will forever be taught in medical school, or a 400 pageview a month article on a smaller language Wikipedia that is important for a high school curriculum.</span></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"font-size: 14px; overflow: hidden; padding: 10px 5px; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; word-break: normal; border: 0px solid black;\">\n<p></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #71d1b3;\"><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\"><strong style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 40px;\">Third</strong></strong></span></p>\n</td>\n<td style=\"font-size: 14px; overflow: hidden; padding: 10px 5px; text-align: left; vertical-align: top; word-break: normal; border: 0px solid black;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Part of the reason why big language Wikipedias are trusted by readers is that they have a sense of completeness and connectedness to other topics: when you search for a topic, you can\u00a0<a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki_rabbit_hole\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cfall down the wiki rabbit hole\u201d</a>\u00a0and find other related reliable content.
