Certified Site Metrics are metrics that are directly-measured from the website instead of estimated. The website owner has installed an Alexa Certify Code on the pages of their site and chosen to show the metrics publicly.
For the website owner Certified Metrics provide:
Certified Metrics are available with all Alexa Pro plans.
Not all websites implement our on-site analytics and publish the results. For these sites, we show estimated metrics based on traffic patterns across the web as a whole. We identify these patterns by looking at the activity of millions of web users throughout the world, and using data normalization to correct for any biases.
The more traffic a site gets, the more data we have to calculate estimated metrics. Estimates are more reliable the closer a site is to being ranked #1. Global traffic ranks of 100,000+ are subject to large fluctuations and should be considered rough estimates.
If a site has Certified Metrics instead of estimated, that means its owner has installed code allowing us to directly measure their traffic. These metrics have a greater level of accuracy, no matter what the ranking.

Senate Tries To Edit Out Word 'Torture' From Wikipedia - Video
Wikipedia on Wednesday followed in the footsteps of other major online servicesand rolled out its first video looking back over the events of the preceding 12 months.
Titled What did we edit in 2014?, the three-minute videoraces through a selection of Wikipedia pages created or updated over the last year. News junkies will have little trouble recognizing the majority of the events appearing in the piece, though no doubt most will findone or two surprises along the way.
Created by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation and edited by long-time Wikipedia contributor Victor Grigas, the video invites viewers to revisit what you read and edited, from the FIFA World Cup to the Indian general elections, and the Ice Bucket Challenge to Ebola in West Africa.

The foundation said the video was put together on a shoestring budget,adding that ultimately its a celebration ofall the effort that goes into building and maintaining the online encyclopedia.
Longtime Wikipedia contributor Victor Grigas edited the piece over a couple of months using freely licensed photos and videos uploaded by the global Wikipedia community.
Katherine Maher, chief communications officer for the Wikimedia Foundation, described Wikipedia as the largest collaborative knowledge project in human historymade possible by even the tiniest of contributions from people around the world, and invited everyone to enjoy the video, rediscovering2014 in the process.
