I think that aggregated geodata like this might be available. I am adding
Analytics to this email thread.

Reporting here the results of some quick investigation we did on MediaWiki’s handling of redirects. Since this change [1] got merged, page redirects (such as en:Obama => en:Barack_Obama) refresh the URL client-side via Javascript. This doesn’t result in an extra HTTP request so the change should have no impact on pageview analysis based on the request logs. Thanks to Legoktm, Emufarmers and Halfak for tracking the source of this change.

Hey all,
we just released a dataset of scholarly citations in the English Wikipedia by Pubmed / Pubmed Central ID.
http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1299540
The dataset currently includes the first known occurrence of a PMID or PMCID citation in an English Wikipedia article and the associated revision metadata, based on the most recent complete content dump of English Wikipedia. We’re planning on expanding this dataset to include other types of scholarly identifier soon.
Feel free to share this with anyone interested or spread the word via: https://twitter.com/WikiResearch/status/562422538613956608

Amir and Neta,
This is interesting research!
What was the visualization decision process like? I've often seen large
inter-connections visualized using Chord or Network diagrams, did you
decide on a heat map because of some peculiarities of this dataset?

Christy
