  • Interesting to see Ash Wednesday snubbed as, essentially, not being popular. Obviously there is a great deal of discussion or it wouldn't be one of the highly viewed pages for the week. Killiondude (talk) 22:49, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The point was that, in the recent past, this would have been the top topic; of course, people are still curious about it (modified commentary to clarify that). Serendipodous 23:05, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure there has been a time in the last 50 years when Ash Wednesday would be a more popular topic than the Oscars or a developing international crisis. Powers T 14:46, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I was thinking, late 19th century. I speak Anglo-Saxon and Ancient Greek, so perhaps I have a slightly elastic definition of "recent". Serendipodous 15:15, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
