(
http://notconfusing.com/preliminary-results-from-wigi-the-wikipedia-gender-…)
are some early findings from a research project I am involved in
(together with Maximilian Klein). (To find out more about the project,
see
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_Gender_Inequality_Index
and it's talk page). We are very curious what you think (don't hesitate
to be critical). What we would really appreciate would be any
alternative hypotheses (to the one presented) that could try to explain
why post-1950s Confucian and South Asian clusters seem so much more
inclusive of female biographies than others (including the "Western"
clusters). Are we seeing a data error, or something else - and if so, what?
