This is another site a bit like Flickrvision but instead shows very recent Wikipedia edits using Google Maps.
It’s a bit of a toy but interesting nonetheless. It’s a clever application by László Kozma, a grad-student at the Helsinki University of Technology. I never knew about the recent changes page on Wikipedia which shows fairly frequent updates.

Combining the earlier themes of Star Trek and overlooked things, did you know just how many languages Wikipedia is being translated into?
This page has a list of them. It’s up to 252 which is very impressive though many only have a small number of articles. Curiously, there are more translations into Volapük than Esperanto. (Both are contrived languages but Esperanto is the more popular) and although there are only 2,030,000 articles in English in total, all articles add up to nearly 9 million with nearly 28 million pages.
However they are still awaiting articles in Herero (a Nigerian/Congo language) and Tokipona (a constructed language not dissimilar to GoodSpeak from Orwell’s 1984).
But the website linked to is the Klingon Encyclopaedia which started as another Wikipedia language but has shifted to a different url. This has 83 articles on it for a total of 1,314 pages. If you like Star Trek and can read Klingon (or even write it), I’m sure they’d welcome your help.
