The CNN analysis makes a lot of sense. They have some good criteria — but I doubt Fidel Castro has a star on the Hollywood walk-of-fame.

I do have some C# and R I could share — but it’s a total mess. There’s nothing that special in it — the C# just talks to the Wikipedia webservice and does a few regexes. And the R is just a linear-model and a few graphs. I have some CSVs of the data I extracted. I can clean the CSVs up and share if anyone is interested?
