Mark Graham's blog post titled "Mapping the Geographies of Wikipedia Content" maps the location of geotagged Wikipedia articles. According to the post, "The map below displays the total number of Wikipedia articles tagged to each country. The country with the most articles is the United States (almost 90,000 articles). Anguilla has the fewest number of geotagged articles (4), and indeed most small island nations and city states have less than 100 articles." The map below shows posts per country (click for larger image). This post includes maps that normalize the data based on both population and land area. Graham also looks at "The Concentration of language versions" in another post. Used with permission.
