Regression to the mean is a potential problem when you choose to examine the most extreme data points in a data set (highly viewed wikipedia pages in this case).
I didn't pick them as points that were most extreme as of earlier years, I picked them as generically popular topics. There should be no particular temporal directionality to view counts for such pages.
