What's coming: Eiffel Tower is in the "arts" category as one of the few works of architecture in Fantasy Wikipedia. This year, the Eiffel Tower joins other famous buildings such as the Empire State Building with a race to the top. On March 20, sixty runners will ascend the Eiffel Tower in the first such race in the Tower's history.
Whether this will lead to more pageviews is uncertain. Empire State Building did not get many more pageviews on the date of its race last year, February 5 2014. However, with the recent violence in Paris and the Tower's newly installed wind turbines, it's possible that Paris will do more to promote the race over the next couple weeks than New York did for the Empire State Building. That could provide a boost to Eiffel Tower which so far has not been a strong performer for Giant Clam (Team 1).

Pageviews in March 2014: 38,057

What's coming: Despite the heavy snows in the Northeast this year, Snow has not had significant pageviews for Wiki Wiki What?! (Team 7). That may change in March. In January and February, Snow was up against a strong performance in 2014, with 73,000 pageviews in January and 60,000 in February. With fewer pageviews in March generally, it will take less for Snow to break out as a strong performer in March. Currently, it is just under the average for March last year. If a major snow comes this month, expect a big jump for Wiki Wiki What?!
