How does Wikipedia represent Australian people, places and events?
This page features selected data and visualisations from wikihistories’ first two projects to investigate how Australian people and places are represented. Together, these reports explore patterns of representation, omission and participation in the world’s largest open knowledge platform. The final wikihistories project – on “events” – will be released in 2026.
