That's very interesting, thank you (and somewhat depressing).

Yeah, it just shows that we need to take action. Imagine if every
Wikimedia contributor on this list, took a few hours and invited a
friend, colleague or family member to contribute to a Project? As
someone who has done a survey that just continued to solidify the
depressing state of women and Wikimedia, and thinks about it
probably more than a person should...I just get sick of it at this
point. I want to see increase, damnit. :( No more same old bad news.
I think it's funny to see that WikiNews has no women. Even though This
Month in GLAM and The Signpost both have contributors.
Also interesting that Commons has a steady amount of women who make
edits. I think I could probably name them all off the top of my
head. Or....I wonder how many of those women are new contributors
who upload an image and then never come back (since you have to have
an account to upload).
What else are people seeing in their chosen languages that might be
interesting? Anything surprising?
Anyplace on Wiki where women really do dominate in this data?
