As mentioned before, Wikipedia sees around a billion visitors per day. The scale that we deal with is just fundamentally different from the sample sizes in these studies. Further, the types of reading tasks measured by most of these studies are in-depth, engaged reading tasks, which are very different from the scanning reading behaviour discussed above. The diversity of people, devices, languages, and contexts that Wikipedia serves are more complex, and findings from these studies may not map onto our uniquely global scale in a perfect way. That being said, we can take these studies and the guidelines they suggest as directional data in our efforts to improve article readability.
