These my give some hints how to expand the article. I am surprized this article is misssing from Wikipedia despite the subject being talked about many times on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lembit Staan ( talk • contribs) 23:15, 12 May 2021 (UTC) reply

I understand that it's similar, but I don't see why that map should go on this page. This article has nothing to do with light. AllegedlyHuman ( talk) 21:19, 2 June 2021 (UTC) reply

It has to do with population density and technological advanceness, but I am not going to sweat over this. There was some source which linked wikipedians' density with internet access and I thought city lights is a good approximation of this correlation.

Has anyone done a study correlating Wikipedia's geographical coverage with available reliable sources? If there is no citeable source we cannot create an article. In this regard, how much is Wikipedia a proxy for availability of sources? · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 09:38, 13 August 2022 (UTC) reply
