File talk:Alexa reach measurement for wikipedia.png

Too many data points were posted on Wikipedia:Awareness statistics for September, 2004. I took 4 fairly evenly-spaced dates to use for this chart. --Kbh3rd 21:39, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

FILE1="alexareach2.dat" # make alexareach1.dat to plot line for *all* datapoints
FILE2="alexareach2.dat"
