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 ‽
