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.

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. ;-(
