As described in the .ipynb file in this repository, due to Wikidata and Wikipedia going through constant updates in their contents, a user may find slightly different results when having downloaded the data as directed in the .ipynb file. Therefore, we provide the data we collected in November 2020 and utilized in our article. Please follow this Dropbox link to acquire the said data.
