Yes, that is a possible approach John. But I was speaking about comparing
all the biographies between different Wikipedias and discover missing
females bios in each one.
By the way, I'm not interested any more in developing tools or statistics
for this movement. I recently discovered that WikiWomenCamp[1] is going to
exclude men from participating. I unsubscribe from this mailing list. Good
luck.

comparing Wikipedia biographical corpora in an automated way and make
some
lists of red links. I will think about that.
I've made an attempt at doing this by using a PD Australian book that
included female bios.
Of the 21 female bios I could find, 10 didnt appear to have have a WP bio.
