Hello,
I am not sure whether I understood well your first sentence - what is a "gendered biography" of a Wikipedia language?
You use the term "editaton". What is this exactly? I met at least three different uses: * an informal meeting of Wikipedians, to sit together and work on their laptops, with the goal of producing content * a Wikipedia training course, for non Wikipedians * a mixture of both, or a more formal meeting e.g. of Wikipedians with GLAM people
Maybe you find information about the related work in the chapters via the reports for the Annual Plan Grants.
Kind regards Ziko

Researchians,
I have a been collecting data on the gendered biographies of different Wikipedia Languages from Wikidata dumps, with the question of trying to understand the gender gap in content. After reading about Propensity Score Matching[1] today, I see it would be possible to test a (close to) causal link between the genders of Wikipedia Biographies being added to a language, and Editathon activity. Yet we'd need the data for editathon activity. Is it compiled somewhere, or can you think of how it could be compiled?
[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propensity_score_matching The idea in propensity score matching is to pretend a randomized experiment is being conducted, and to find a "control group" - a similar but untreated language, for each "treated group".
Make a great day, Max Klein ‽ http://notconfusing.com/
