About this live wikipedia edits map
Each marker is an edit to a Wikipedia article, plotted at the geolocated origin of the editor's network. The feed derives from the Wikimedia EventStreams platform.
The pattern follows the sun: edit activity surges during daytime across each region in turn, giving a live view of the world's collective attention.
