Hello All,

I wanted to share with you a visualisation about sex ratios in Wikidata, after the so called categorygate New York Times article. I'm really excited about how Wikidata is going to allow us to compare Claims data against the interwiki link section. Is there going to be 
official support for this in phase 3?
This is how Items with Property:Sex (P21) compare by language:

In the full blog post I compare it against Sex data from Library Authority Files if you're curious http://hangingtogether.org/?p=2877
