I scraped data from the above two websites that is all publicly available already to produce some ready-to-use complete data sets that will hopefully save someone some time who had similar needs. @@ -83,15 +83,14 @@ To run: bundle exec ruby scrubber.rb -Note, due to file encoding issues the script should only be run using Ruby 1.9 or above. - ### Timestamp -* UN Statistical data retrieved 8 December 2020 -* Wikipedia data retrieved 8 December 2020, from a document last revised 19 November 2020 +* UN Statistical data retrieved 19 June 2024 +* Wikipedia data retrieved 19 June 2024, from a document last revised 6 June 2024 ### Revisions +* 30 June 2024 - `tag 10.0` * 8 December 2020 - `tag 9.0` * 19 March 2019 - `tag 8.0` * 25 July 2018 - `tag 7.0`
