In the Internet industry, almost no one gives Alexa rankings credibility any more. Quantcast is the defacto standard in terms of publicly-available rankings. How hard would it be to have your bot take on the task of changing the articles it looks at over to Quantcast?-- Jimbo Wales ( talk) 01:39, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
I've noticed that this bot updates the alexa rating in the infobox only on the Slashdot page. Unfortunately, it's doing it completely wrong because it's only updating the numbers there and adding a citation in the infobox, which is also WRONG. It is not updating the alexa rating in the text under traffic and publicity, where the information is cited there. So a duplicate citation in the infobox is completely and totally unnecessary, and also very misleading to readers and therefore improper. Please discontinue having this bot update the Slashdot unless and until you can get this fixed. Thank you. WTF? ( talk) 16:44, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

and that would resolve the reference duplication issue.--
