This is so interesting! I hadn't see it before.
Thanks for sharing. Now
I'm wondering what the overall emotional tone would amount to on wikiHow,
in comparison...

Apologies if this study has already been linked
here.
Barcelona Media studied emotion and dialogue on English Wikipedia article
talk pages and published the paper "Emotions under Discussion: Gender,
Status and Communication in Online Collaboration" in PLOS ONE. Among the
study's findings was that "female editors engage in relationship-oriented
speech that is conducive to a positive working environment."
I believe their conclusions also reinforce some of the initiatives at the
Gender Gap Task Force. Particularly relevant is their conclusion that "our
results suggest that being able to involve more women and to give them more
space in the community would also result in a virtuous cycle of female
participation, through the creation of a communication environment where
they feel more comfortable."
