Wikipedia research:
(1a) what is the geography of articles in MENA
compared to the rest of the world?

(1b) what is the geography of articles in East
Africa compared to the rest of the world?
Wikipedia research:
(2) do local authors in the Middle East/North
Africa/East Africa comprise disproportionately
fewer of the contributors to articles about
that region?
Wikipedia research:
(3) are the contributions of local contributors
undervalued?
