I posted this on [Gendergap] mailing list at wikipedia but maybe this
mailing list is more relevant for technical details.
I posted on my blog the table about percentages of men/women on
different wikipedias.
See
http://www.gnuband.org/2011/02/10/percentage_of_men_and_women_on_different_…
On Russian Wikipedia, users tend to express their gender much more (16.80%!).
Amir left a comment saying that the User: namespace in Russian is
translated into the equivalent of User_male: (I guess if the user set
male in the preferences as gender) and User_female: (if female in the
preferences).
Do you know if this happens in other wikipedia as well?
In Russian Wikipedia, if gender is not set, how User: is rendered?
With the male equivalent or there is a neutral form?

chance we could have that broken into percentages?
My preliminary tabulation shows WP in the middle. Also, oddly, a lot of Russians
apparently gender declare. One of the odd things with the survey from which the 13% is
derived is how many Russians participated. Maybe the really like to identify with WP?
en.wikipedia : 2.01% declared: 233312 men; 46973 women; women are 16.76%
de.wikipedia : 3.47% declared: 35726 men; 4800 women; women are 11.84%
fr.wikipedia : 2.16% declared: 18556 men; 3054 women; women are 14.13%
