Bjoern, Very very interesting study. Pushing the idea a bit further, I was thinking about the geometry of wikipedia itself.

I was wondering now about two possible interesting things: * Plotting a dot for each geo-localized article on a world map. That would give a kind of coverage of where are the things we talk about on Wikipedia. This could also create cartogram map where the density of article shapes the map rendering. * Distance between articles. What are articles situated at 10km around from this article X? The knowledge is then expressed in terms of distances. -- Karl Dubost Montréal, QC, Canada http://www.la-grange.net/karl/
