Will provide an overview of our most recent efforts to add high quality data visulizations to Wikipedia.
One can view these efforts in a functioning formate on MDWiki.org https://mdwiki.org/wiki/WikiProjectMed:OWID#Way_3_(current_effort)
We have been working on efforts to bring data visualization into Wikipedia for more than a decade. Prior efforts have run into unsurpassable blocks; however, with the support of further software engineers we have finally manage to make siginificant progress.
