Can I have a statement about how much easier it would have been with Wikidata? :)
2013/6/13 Brent Hecht bhecht@cs.umn.edu
Hi all,
In my (recently finished) thesis, I looked at a lot of different properties (e.g. topic, centrality, popularity via pageviews) of "common" and "unique" concepts across multilingual Wikipedia.
It's all in Chapter 3: http://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~bhecht/publications/bhecht_thesis_final.pdf.
A lot of these questions were addressed in the pre-Wikidata era :-)

That's an excellent recommendation. I will attempt to research the
common properties of the least unique Wikidata items.

I think Poland may do better than average because Polish people, out
of
national pride, have made a special effort to be well documented in
English
Wikipedia and represent a Polish point-of-view on topics like the city of Gdansk.
One fascinating thing about Wikidata is that it provides access to all
of
the wonderful concepts shared in the Wikiverse, so now sites like
Ookaboo
can collect pictures of many beautiful places that don't exist in en Wikipedia.
On the other hand I'm also interested in the other end of the curve, those elite concepts which are represented widely across the Wikipedias. Surely this is connected with subjective importance, with some flavor towards "global" appeal, whatever that would turn out to mean. Any
chance
you could run a report on those?

Hello Wikidatians,
I made a few visualizations of the distributions of language links in Wikidata Items. You can also use these stats to see which Items represent wikipedia articles which are unique to a language and compare the uniquenesses of all languages. Also I investigate all the items with just two language links, to look at Wikipedia "pairs"
See the full analysis:

Interesting! Could you also create that kind of visualisations by topics : how much uniqueness come from biographies of local football people, compared with history events or abstract concepts ?
Also, in a completly unrelated topic, you may explain me in private what you mean with "Create a communal house to live in" which is in your public todo list, it sounds interesting. :P
