What someone contributes to society to be considered notable<\/em> can vary, so researchers tried to narrow it down and account for biases where possible. <\/p>\n Each name featured on the map was determined using a baseline of information scraped from Wikipedia and Wikidata for use in a recent study<\/a> published in Nature<\/em> that tried to calculate a person\u2019s notability based on several rules:<\/p>\n The number of Wikipedia editions of each individual;<\/p>\n The length, i.e total number of words found in all available biographies. It is equal to zero for individuals with just one Wikidata entry and no biography in Wikipedia;<\/p>\n The average number of biography views (hits) for each individual between 2015 and 2018 in all available language editions, using an API available in https:\/\/wikitech.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/Analytics\/AQS\/Pageviews<\/a> or zero in the absence of a Wikipedia biography;<\/p>\n The number of non-missing items retrieved from Wikipedia or Wikidata for birth date, gender and domain of influence. The intuition here is that the more notable the individual, the more documented his\/her biographies will be;<\/p>\n The total number of external links (sources, references, etc.) from Wikidata.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n When you click on each name \u2014 larger ones that are more visible from further away have higher rankings \u2014 you\u2019re able to see where each individual ranks notability-wise. <\/p>\n If you\u2019re a fan of geography and people, this site could be a cool way to explore people near and far. Or, as it was for me, another reminder that I share the same hometown as Beyonc\u00e9. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
