An interesting idea, but probably could have been done better with an order magnitude less of maps with nice effects between (i.e. a horizontal side scroll with fade effects, rather than having to click on each little map tile).

Generally speaking, for a good infographic the picture should tell the story rather than you having to read explanatory text.

Thanks for the feedback. I generally concur that there has to be a story for a visualization to be successful. The goal with this project was different for once. All data comes verbatim from one Wikipedia page. The goal was to explore how rich Wikipedia content can be presented more interactively and visually appealing.

As to the interaction you suggested: you can click yourself from map to map using the navigation at the bottom instead of having to go back to the tiles.
