Gergo Tisza makes a valid point. The nl-wiki has 300.000-350.000 hits on the main page per day. The rest of the top10 drops quickly down to 5000 hits per day, a reasonable amount. But the 1.500.000 unique visitors per day then seems overstated, when I do a rough estimate, it looks like 1.500.000 is the total number of page views, the number of unique devices must be a lot smaller then.
