= My methodology =

My methodology was not amazing, but I needed something to get the job done. I created a parsing algorithm to look at demonyms listed within the first sentence of articles, which did the job for all but ~700 of the articles. After I added them manually.

Why are some ethnicities listed that aren't nationalities? Parsing reasons. For example, many people were listed as either English or British, despite one being an ethnicity and one being a nationality. That's why they are separate in the data.

Some judgement calls had to be made for some of the historical countries for which nationality to list. I am not perfect.

= Conclusions =

V5 needs to increase coverage of these countries desperately:

Vietnam
Bangladesh
Indonesia
Latin America
Africa outside of Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa (especially Tanzania and Ethiopia)

The usual suspects of the wealthiest and the Anglosphere are overrepresented in the data. Countries that may be overrepresented include:

US (especially in the Entertainers section, but that can be attributed to Hollywood)
Sweden
England/UK, especially in writers, but this can be mildly attributed to the dominance of English
Switzerland
Tahiti for some reason?
Denmark
Australia should not have more people listed than Brazil
Roman leaders may be slightly overrepresented

Most importantly, the US and Europe alone accounting for over 70% of the names is the most important problem. I know this will be hard since most editors are American (like me) or European, but it should always be kept in mind.
