The Coming Week: 3/22/15-3/28/15

Articles of the Week: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and Walmart


Article: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge
Category: Geography, Politics, Religion, and History
Owner: Wiki Wiki What?! (Team 7)
Pageviews in March 2014: 101,346
What's coming: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, aka Kate Middleton, is expecting a baby. It's due in mid-April, but that won't stop the media coverage of the royal family. Expect to see more on the duchess over the next month.
Unfortunately for Wiki Wiki What?! (Team 7), Fantasy Wikipedia ends on March 31. Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge will need more pageviews over this week and the first half of the next in order to qualify for points. This could happen; some magazines have already erroneously reported that the duchess has given birth, which could lead to people checking a more reliable source (like Wikipedia, I suppose) to see if there is another royal baby already.

Article: Walmart
Category: Business, Science, & Technology
Owner: Wiki Wiki What?! (Team 7)
Pageviews in March 2014: 123,531
What's coming: I'm focusing on Wiki Wiki What?! since his articles needs the most to catch up with the pack. Walmart is a possible contender for more points this week.
Walmart has been a fair performer so far. The company has recently been in the news for increasing wages after many protests about poor treatment of their workers. As other retailers, like Target and TJ Maxx, are raising their wages, it's possible that Walmart could do something else newsworthy.
