User:Jwrosenzweig/Survey
The survey below originated with User:Secretlondon/Survey -- given that she's temporarily left the project, I'm copying it here so that I can sporadically continue the work. Note: Secretlondon's explanation below indicates she used Special:Recentchanges, which I think might bias a survey, given that some timezones would be heavily represented, given the time of day chosen. My surveys have used Special:Randompage, ignoring any non-country specific articles until a total of 32 articles is reached, for easy comparison's sake.
Survey of Wikipedia internationalisation[edit]
Random survey done using recent changes. Page counted as a hit for a country if it was about a place, person, object or company from the particular country.
