Geographical bias on Wikipedia

Wikipedia has been criticized for the inequality in the distribution of its volunteer-created content with respect to the geographical association of article subjects. The research shows that despite considerable differences of this distribution depending on the language of Wikipedia, there is a common trend towards more content related to the United States and Western Europe coupled with the scarcity of information about certain regions in the rest of the world.
