a recent First Monday article classifies Wikipedia research by country of provenance,
among other criteria:

Any analysis of the gender of people doing that research by country?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_studies_about_Wikipedia#Demographics shows only one
analysis that mentions gender but not country. Are demographic studies and content
studies by nationality and gender not being done? Any one done an article that has large
scale uses of data like
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Polish_Gender_Wikiproject.png
or something similar?
The study used bibliometric data (that is, data that is recorded in the journal or
conference publication in structured format). That does not include gender information, so
the study has no such information.
