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

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!
