I'm sorry that I can't read the graphic at
http://www.informationisbeautifulawards.com/showcase/608-what-is-wikipedia-about
It just doesn't zoom enough to read the part entitled "How to read
it".  I also can't find the graphic on the company's website
http://www.askmedia.fr/

Frankly, it looks pretty flashy but if the content is supposed to be
"What is Wikipedia about?" they've failed by getting a partial
population from Wikidata.  A random sample is usually a lot better
than a partial population for this type of thing.

For example, see my graphic on "What's in Wikipedia?" at
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Size_of_English_Wikipedia_(1000_vol).svg
That's only for the English-language Wikipedia of course.  Also see
the discussion at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Smallbones/1000_random_results

Just two quick questions. How does Wikipedia's coverage of science
compare to its coverage of biographies of living sportsmen?  Which
graphic gives you that information?
