SBU*

Edit: You know what, never mind, SBU is a CIA branch anyway.

Seems unbiased to me michael-laugh

As expected, the 100+ edits version is...

[–] JTurtle@lemmygrad.ml 30 points 2 years ago (3 children)

why is Russia blank? does no one in Russia edit wikipedia??

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Looks like it's filtered by 5 to 99 edits. Maybe the 100 to more is so overwhelming russian that would not show the other countries.

It would need to be seen if a map of russian speakers would show the same results.

Russia doesn't show up when filtering by 100+ edits either. Does Wikipedia ban Russian IPs?

[–] ComradeEd@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I was going "oh, does Russia block Wikipedia too?" but apparently no, it isn't

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 9 points 2 years ago

And thinking about it, whay I said didn't make sense neither, russian would still be the great majority of users doing 5 to 99 edits each. Don't know how easy is to find this info, but a better measure would be (number of edits in russian) / (number of russian speakers) by country.

Nope actually.

I have the same question. You’d think the majority of edits would come from Russia when the content is about Russia. Then again it may be because of conflicts between the west and Russia, considering Wikipedia is at least western leaning.

About what you'd expect from CIApedia. Disappointed to see Kirgizstan so heavily featured, but not surprised.

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wonder what the distribution of edits is between Ukraine and the Donbas

[–] edge@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wonder if Donbass users even get registered as Ukrainian. Their internet is likely provided by Russia so the IP addresses they're given might just come up as Russian.

How do you access this graph?

I have a school assignment it would be useful for.

Surprised Baltics aren't darker

They are probably trying to forget Russian right now to not be deported by their fash regimes.

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

A bit more accurate version

[–] ksynwa@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can't spot any difference.

I tried to hilight Langley but Lemmy scales the picture down and the dot disappears

Think you're off by about 500 miles there unless there's some deep lore about South Carolina

I'll take 500 mile accuracy any day, my knowledge of US geography is like 90% from movies

[–] Shinhoshi@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 2 years ago

That’s odd, Russian Wikipedia comes up often even in English Yandex.

Do you think these results are affected by VPN usage?
