This social network analysis looks at the entire corpus of Wikipedia biographies with data from English Chinese Japanese and German Wikipedias The authors created several thousand networks unfortunately this short conference paper does not discuss precisely how and used the PageRank algorithm to identify key individuals The authors attempt to answer Who are the most important people of all times Their findings clearly show that different Wikipedias give different prominence to different individuals the most prominent people for the four Wikipedias appear to be George W B Bush Mao Zedong Ikuhiko Hata and Adolf Hitler respectively The Eastern cultures seem to prioritize warriors and politicians Western ones include more cultural including religious figures Interesting findins concern globalizatin While the English Wikipedia includes  nonEnglish leaders among the top  just two nonChinese made it into the top  of the Chinese Wikipedia Japanese Wikipedia is slightly more balanced with almost  percent nonJapanese leaders Findings for the German Wikipedia are not presented Through the authors dont make that point it seems that no women appear in the Top  lists presented Overall this seems like an interesting paper through the brief form two pages means that many questions about methodology remain unanswered and the presentation of findings and analysis are very curt
