Hi Jonathan,
In the case of linking differences in presented gender related behavior on Quora when it comes to willingness to link to Wikipedia in answers, there appears to be a difference in willingness to link to Wikipedia while the overall willingness to link to external sites appears to be relatively similar.
I am still collecting data for this as Quora does not allow data scraping and lacks an API, but I cannot see much of a change happening here. I still need to write up the results when I get done with it.
I thought maybe someone here might be aware of differences in linking to Wikipedia behavior on a social network like Twitter or Facebook (or even older sites like LiveJournal) or potentially just differences in link sharing patterns in general, as they have more open systems (to a degree) that more easily allow for checking external links.
Sincerely, Laura Hale

Hi Laura,
I'm not aware of any. Do you think there might be gender differences at play here?
