Tony The Tiger interpretation: Freedom of expression does not exist unless freedom of expression is protected when and where the audience exists.



The following data represents pageview highlights of good articles, featured articles and featured lists that I was a main author of. It only includes years during which or after they achieved their quality rating due to my contribution. The following statistics are based on the pageview tool at http://stats.grok.se, from late 2007 through 2015. Beginning in 2016, I began using a new pageview tool that does not currently and may never backfill historical data for comparison. The new tool takes into account mobile pageviews, I believe.
