- Wikipedia is one the most pages of info consulted on Internet. That means everybody wants to be on it. Many persons considers Wikipedia only from the perspective of a promotional space even when it's rules and WP:NPOW state clearly that it's not allow self promotion. Policitics is one of the most active sector where that kind of practices are increasing. Sometimes the community can detect and stop that promotional activity and others can't. Mexico is a notorius case where politics even those of low range are increasing their presence on Wikipedia. We will analyse and compare the data given by Wikidata about mexican politicians and compare them with campaings and mexican electoral time in order to detect patterns.
