Article: Koch Industries

Category: Business, Science, and Technology
Owner: D's Asters (Team 8)
Pageviews in January 2014: 43,052
What happened: At the end of January, D's Asters (Team 8) pulled ahead with a sudden uptick in pageviews for Koch Industries. The Koch brothers, who own the company, announced a $889M budget for the U.S. presidential race, nearly as much as both the Democratic and Republican parties. People presumably headed to the Wikipedia page to get a better understanding of the Koch's interests
In general, it has been a good month for both U.S. and foreign politics in January's Fantasy Wikipedia. Of the U.S. politics pages on players' teams, nearly all are performing well: Mitch McConnell, Barack Obama, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, John Boehner are all above last year's pageviews. Others, such as Democractic Party (United States) and Republican Party (United States) are outperforming the average Wikipedia article in our pool.
