<a href="https://toolserver.org/~robin/?tool=incubatorprefs&db=ruwikiversity">https://toolserver.org/~robin/?tool=incubatorprefs&db=ruwikiversity</a> is a tool that allows you to check the participation rates of males/females on various wikiprojects based on users who explicitly state this information in their profile. I've been trying to get this data for specific country pages on the <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp/FAQ/Perspectives">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp/FAQ/Perspectives</a> national perspectives. I've done a sample of about 89 different projects, getting the total number of males/females and the percentage of males/females on a given project. <div>
