Most-Searched Cities on Wikipedia

Whatever happened to the Orient so it's "offensive"? It means east, which the Orient is east of everything except the 12 people in an ocean that spans half the globe.

Well here on the east coast of Australia it's more like the Moderately Distant North-Northwest.

@IsleAuHaulte offensiveness isn't based on strict etymology but on historical context and usage, and many people consider the origins of the term during a period of intense colonialism and racism as enough reason to ditch it

How??? One ocean covers nearly ½ the distance around the Earth. As you look at human settlement, the Orient is east, Europe and the Americas are west. Sorry if that's not being Midway Island centric enough.

It's Eurocentric, but so what?

Well given the proximity of East Asia to the global centre of population (which is somewhere around eastern Kazakhstan or western Xinjiang, China - the latter actually being in East Asia, technically), I'd say the term 'Far' doesn't have much applicability to most humans alive today. For me, living in Australia, the 'Far East' is actually northwest and much closer than Europe or North America. In fact, some of the population of Indonesia, most of the population of Japan and Australia, all of the population PNG and New Zealand and most of the Pacific Island countries are east of China's easternmost point, as well as parts of Russia. Thus I think East Asia (or Northeast Asia, to match with Southeast Asia) is a better term, as it doesn't privilege any particular frame of reference, merely pointing to where the region sits in its continent.

Presumably one publicity stunt. I think it should be filled in already but out between three and four. Or you should have to guess it and it could be a way to tell how many people are cheating.

Sounds like a web bot gone crazy.

Yep, that's exactly what it is. I was curious so I looked it up and it seems that bots randomly swarmed that page in views.

I personally look up African capital cities

Three now (or four if you count Rome)

Still amazing that Sparta made the list but Athens didnt.
