Another country-based observation is that Italian
locations are so much more
popular than those in almost any other country. Here is a map showing only
those items with at least 33 (!) sitelinks:

Most of them are communes. Even tiny ones like
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q42251 have articles in 33 different
Wikipedias. It's a striking difference to basically all other countries.
Overall, about one third of all items with articles on that many projects
seem to be located in Italy.
I love the stories that get told through maps like this. Someone has
been hard at work on the regions of Soria (NE Spain), plus Bas-Rhin
and Ain in France. Really sharp borders!
The map can also be used to highlight other
country-specific differences,
such as the unusually large amount of orphan items in The Netherlands and
UK.
WLM-related historic site imports, I think...
