Hi all,
inspired by the recent works of Adam, I have now recreated the Wikidata maps that Denny made some years ago:
https://ddll.inf.tu-dresden.de/web/Wikidata/Maps-06-2015/en
There are some interesting observations to be made there, and in any case the images are quite pretty.
The code is available online as one of the Wikidata Toolkit examples [1] for anyone who wants to create more/different maps. Building all of the maps takes about half an hour on my laptop, once the dump is downloaded.
Cheers,
Markus

Markus,
Great and thanks!

What impress me is that we see france pretty well in nearly all the maps ... It's the only contry that is on so much maps. Is this a bug or is France the real center of the world ?

In Catalan Wikipedia all French communes have at least a bot-like page imported/translated from the French equivalent, which was created by a bot indeed: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:DasBot. In some languages, those pages were first created, and then a bot came adding geolocation coordinates. All this before Wikidata.
See for instance https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Amancet and the corresponding https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanch_Amau%C3%A7, and in English https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Amancet
That article is available in 20 languages, including Cebuano (heavy bot user) and the languages showcased in Markus' new and splendid visualization tool.
Update: I added a link to a high-resolution (17280x8640 pixels) monochrome image of all Wikidata items to the article [1]. Maybe best viewed after download (the file is only 2MB, but my browser got a bit slow on this).

Very cool. Now try the same with other bodies of Solar System.[1] Specially moon craters.

Right ... here you go:
https://korrekt.org/page/Note:Wikidata_on_the_Moon
With the density that low, other visualisations (Google Maps like) would make more sense, but there are some language-specific findings nonetheless. I guess other bodies will have even less to see, so I did not do them now.

Markus, Emilio and Wikidatans,
Building on the beautiful maps-with-Wikipedia entries that you just created, Markus, in what ways could such Commons' photos/images with millions of coordinates, related video resources, and other related Wikipedia items be incorporated into a 3D film-realistic interactive wiki-informed virtual world - think Google Earth with OpenSim, Second Life, Illustris + - and in a way that's wiki-buildable, and could be used even for STEM-research (e.g. mapping in specific photos and videos from the various archaeological digs at Troy), and decade-by-decade to begin, even, for a kind of historical reference time frame virtual-world mapping?
Here are a few related receptions conceptions of this from my blog ...
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/04/ring-tailed-lemurs-your-travels-to... -
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/06/himalayan-quail-ophrysia-supercili... -
... and all in relation to a CC wiki/Wikidata academic methodology I'd like to develop further which I'm calling "ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy" and especially for STEM research - and in large languages to begin - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-grap... .
Thanks for these beautiful Wikipedia maps.
Cheers, Scott
