Wikipedia losing its Pageviews per Annum

Wikipedia , the free online encyclopedia has lost its 10% of page views as compared to last year

The Wikipedia managers suggesting this could be a counting error, others say its Google !!!!


The most preferred online encyclopedia- the Wikipedia has experienced a 10 % slide in its page views. A decline of about 2 billion between December 2012 and December 2013.

The most popular version of Wikipedia - the English Wikipedia experienced the slide with 12%, then the German with 17 %, and the Japanese version with a decline of 9%.

Many experts believe that the decline is the reason of Google bringing uo the new Knowledge graphs project which took off last year. It might have distracted the users from Wikipedia to Google.

SO, can I say that Google ate up in Wikipedia pageviews ???
