I put this together as a fun little side project after beginning to wonder about geographic biases present in Wikipedia articles. Here are just a few comparisons that I've tried & found at least mildly interesting...<p>- Religious figures: Muhammad vs Jesus vs Vishnu <a href="https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikipedia-contributor-locations/#!/map/en.wikipedia.org/Jesus%26%26Muhammad%26%26Vishnu" rel="nofollow">https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikipedia-contributor-locations/#!...</a><p>- Major cities: San Francisco vs New York City vs Chicago <a href="https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikipedia-contributor-locations/#!/map/en.wikipedia.org/New%20York%20City%26%26Chicago%26%26San%20Francisco" rel="nofollow">https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikipedia-contributor-locations/#!...</a><p>- World leaders: Barack Obama vs Elizabeth II vs Pranab Mukherjee <a href="https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikipedia-contributor-locations/#!/map/en.wikipedia.org/Barack%20Obama%26%26Elizabeth%20II%26%26Pranab%20Mukherjee" rel="nofollow">https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikipedia-contributor-locations/#!...</a><p>Here's an album of screenshots <a href="http://imgur.com/a/wmsLX" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/a/wmsLX</a>, if you don't mind losing the ability to zoom in and look around :)<p>All the code is open source and available on GitHub <a href="https://github.com/theopolisme/wikipedia-contributor-locations" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/theopolisme/wikipedia-contributor-locatio...</a>. The tool uses a Python backend to access the Wikipedia API and pull a list of revisions for the given articles, then look up their locations using MaxMind's free GeoIP database. On the frontend side of things, I used leaflet.js and a custom-modded (to allow for variable point radii to indicate multiple edits from the same location) version of leaflet.heat to draw the map.
