\"\"The study sample comprises the buildings and sites, and activities of ethnological interest, of cultural interest of the provinces of Granada and Huelva contained in the Cat\u00e1logo General del Patrimonio Hist\u00f3rico Andaluz<\/em> (General Catalogue of Andalusian Historic and Cultural Heritage), which is within the remit of the Education, Culture and Sports Department of the Regional Government of Andalusia The said catalogue is a tool by which it is sought to safeguard the buildings and sites registered therein, as well as to facilitate enquires about and promotion of them. The two provinces chosen of the Autonomous Community of Andalusia have been selected because they have the largest and smallest number, respectively, of buildings and sites of this type of heritage indexed in the catalogue. With the aim of establishing how the information about the sample in represented in Wikipedia, different types of search have been made in the encyclopaedia (OLVERA-LOBO; GUTI\u00c9RREZ-ARTACHO; ROBINSON 2015; OLVERA-LOBO; GUTI\u00c9RREZ-ARTACHO, 2014, 2015). Furthermore, the subject categories used by the encyclopaedia to organise the information have been analysed. Similarly, it has been determined how many of the buildings and sites in the sample have information in various languages, and which of them are translations. The procedure followed is set out below.<\/p>\n
