It wasn't a criticism, of course something like this is limited by the data available and that's no the fault of the author. I was just musing on what might be a side effect of using what's available.
There wouldn't be a 'total complete and true set' of data for this task, since not all countries use wiki's to the same extent, and languages don't actually delineate between country (eg: Spanish wikipedia is not exclusively the view of people from Spain, nor is English wikipedia exclusively the views of people from England).
- Cd00d 4y agoSorry, I wasn't complaining about your post specifically, just a general tenor that kind of shits on this work because of an unsolvable problem: as you say there's actually no comprehensive dataset that would make it possible. Your original comment was valid and insightful. I replied to it because it triggered a lot of secondary criticism about sample bias, and those are the comments I was most trying to respond to.
- ehnto 4y agoAh I see, thanks for the clarification. It's a fair defense, this is still definitely an awesome project!
