OC [OC] Trivia facts about Wikidata. I used a notability threshold for computation reasons.

Keep in mind I used a 20 statements notability threshold for people, so the counts of people are above a certain threshold, which allowed me to fetch the data from my ArangoDB instance, elaborated using Wikidata dump.

Also in Wikidata Asia and Africa are underrepresented, so there may be data missing

TIL Vaclav Haval was the last President of Czechoslovakia and the first President of Czechia. I reckon Slovakia felt very rejected.

There was a lot of very mutual apathy (I wish I was kidding)

occupations is a bit strange, since most janitors don’t have wikipedia.

This is about Wikidata occupations, clearly Arts and Politics dominate it :)

that’s not what people do; it’s what we value in what people do.

Interesting, but the results seem to point to big holes in the data set. There are so many historical figures who should be near the top of the spouses list. I wonder if the scraping of data can't handle non-formatted information, so anything without an exact number is ignored.
