How local is information in the Spanish Wikipedia?

This visualization shows the percentage of source citations in the Spanish Wikipedia's articles about a country that are published locally by that country. For example, it answers: How many of the sources cited in articles about Mexico are published locally in Mexico? All URLs that appear in articles are considered sources, and their location is inferred using a novel geoprovenance inference algorithm. Click on a specific country to view more information about the articles and sources in that country.
