Hence Commons has a massive skew towards the UK which has 0.1% of the world's landmass, 1% of its population but rather more than 10% of Commons files. I've uploaded quite a few UK images myself, and I have hundreds of images of Georgia that I can't upload to Commons but can upload to other image sharing sites.
Yes, that was due to the Geograph Britain and Ireland imports http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_the_Geograph_British_...
A tiny visualization I made some time ago shows the bias in Wikimedia Commons coverage http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Geolocated_images_in_Wikimedia_Commons_201...

The same with other sister projects (Wiktionary, wikibooks, wikisource...).
Research is highly biased towards Wikipedia. Neither other wikifarms have been studied.

Does anyone know of research on images on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons?
Thanks in advance!
