One thing that could be interesting is to trace
the career of users: When they register, how
frequent they edit, if the frequency varies
over time, and if these patterns differ between
men and women and the gender-anonymous.
Perhaps we have more gender equality among
medium-activity users, but the most extreme
are men? Or vice versa? Perhaps users who
signed up in 2010 are more gender equal than
those recruited in 2007? Or not?
Now, if a woman uses a male pseudonym,
she would obviously self-declare as a man,
so we can't know if this correlates to real
gender. We could only measure the setting.
