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]

Promoted to GA alongside User:Kung Fu Man a few days ago. Level 5 Vital Article, has attained 787,673 pageviews in the past year. Random spike on 6/5/24, but views are consistent aside from that. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 17:48, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Promoted to GA-status by me. Wolverine XI ^{(talk to me)} 10:40, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Verified. Major contributor, saw article through its 5th GA nomination. Assessing at a whopping 3 million pageviews. Awarded and HOF. – Reidgreg (talk) 17:11, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Saved at featured article review by me, and became the main author. Has received over 2.7 million page views in the past year. 750h+ 00:18, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Verified. Took the article up at FAR to keep it listed, becoming primary author. This wasn't the article's first listing – it was already at FA – but in the spirit of recogniz[ing] editors who improve important, high-traffic articles and the substantial and timely work put in, I will certainly award this. Checked redirects to the stage name The Notorious B.I.G., but these have a relatively small number of pageviews. Assessing at 2.7 million pageviews in the 365 days before the listing was confirmed. Awarded and HOF. – Reidgreg (talk) 17:12, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Last year I got East Timor to GA. In 2023 it had over 1.2 million views. One spike was DYK, but I have no idea what the others were. It also was at over 1 million in 2022 and 2021. Best, CMD (talk) 11:32, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Verified. Primary author, saw GA review through. A big pageview spike on 20 May, Independence Day, previously featured at OTD but not during the assessment year. Assessing at 1.17 million pageviews. Awarded and HOF. – Reidgreg (talk) 17:13, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
