I would almost think that this is a parody of something - I can't tell if
it is the same in other countries.
I felt similar while reading India[1]. One wouldnt simply find any women's
basketball club related articles at least till next decade when Basketball
(AND) club level sport become active/notable enough in the country leave
alone gendergap. Similar comment can be made for Wikiversity, leadership
too. I agree with Lodewijk that templated information might not be really
helpful in getting perspectives, atleast not this template. Searching
India+women across projects is also a bad idea and is expected to produce
numbers which would obviously be low, a Regex search might be better, (See
AlexNewarticlesBot list[2] how WP:INDIA on enwp searches for India related
content)
Can perspectives actually ask some of the active women editors / members to
share their "perspectives" instead of having templated data? Literacy
ratio, e-literacy ratio might be some good data points to add on the
templated data.
//There are no women from this country who are administrators on incubator
and no active women editors from this country. The project has few
participants overall, with only 44 users identified as female and 516
identified as male.//
Can I know from where this data was taken? There are *quite a few* active
women editors from the country, with ratios of men:women matching rest of
world. (May be even better, since fewer men are active editors).
