Hoi,
The italians have categories for people who died in a particular place.. Given that it is in Italian, Italian places get a lot of attention :)
Thanks,

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:

http://wwwpub.zih.tu-dresden.de/~s5219191/vizidata/#d=0&m=items&l=en&f=1&e=33_336&c=48526&g=0.8&h=1.2&o=1&p=3&x=19.599609375&y=47.32393057095941&z=5



I have just zoomed in my area (Delft, the Netherlands), and I see that
many places are missing on the map, for instance, Naaldwijk,
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1613459 , which has coordinates in both
Wikidata and English Wikipedia. There must be smth wrong with loading data.

As I wrote in my email, the link that I sent has a filter set to show
*only items with 33 or more site links*. The item you mention only has
6 site links, so it is not shown. You can change the filter by
clicking on the histogram at the top (drag interval bounds in lower
view, fine-tune intervals using the arrow buttons on the top; click
lower view once to reset the filter).


Hi Markus,

thanks, now I see the point. This possibly means that the info about Italian communes is more bot-friendly than the one from other countries, and mass-creation of such articles is easier. I can not otherwise imagine why such a big difference could occur.


Cheers
Yaroslav
