I agree with zoloinwiki. If I should say anything positive about my plot it is that it shows the very nice query and plotting facilities in query.wikidata.org. It does not show an appropriate picture of the occupation of the Panama Papers persons. And there seems to be loads of people unfortunately misunderstanding it.

There is a good critique in Le Monde (though it is the first time a plot of mine has been called "bidon" :-)

"Panama Papers bubble chart shows politicians are most mentioned in document leak database" Sorry if that sounds grumpy, but if that involves such gross misrepresentation, I can't say I am happy to see our data getting such diffusion. The original blog post by Finn Årup Nielsen was fine, the Independent article stilll sort of ok, but what seems to get public success is the bullshit title and the decontextualized graph https://twitter.com/search?q=panama%20bubble%20chart&src=typd
