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_Isles_project

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_2012-01-21.png

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!
