Can I have a statement about how much easier it would have been with
Wikidata? :)
2013/6/13 Brent Hecht <bhecht(a)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 :-)

Wikipedias
According to Wikidata
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?

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
