Hi all;
Is there any up-to-date statistical tools monitoring gender gap? I have
started this basic one[1], and I'm thinking about an analysis of male-female
biographies ratio between Wikipedias.
Suggestions and links to tools are welcome.
I think, keeping in mind what Erik pointed out about the bias of such
a statistics, that it would be extremely interesting to be able to
compare those numbers (disclosed male or female) with non identified
gender. For all we know, females might make the bulk of that number,
so that would give a little perspective.
Also, I just realized that with SUL, the gender is not passed from one
wiki to the other, and frankly, I doubt people revisit their
preferences for each wiki (my account is active on 108 wikis... I'm
never gonna change all of those !*) they do 100 edits on. Just a
caveat.
Cheers,
Delphine
*Talking of which, fr wiki just gained a female editor, cos I had
never thought of changing that setting, one way or the other. ;-)
