Hey,
I was wondering if anyone was aware of any research on differences in gender behavior when it comes to willingness to link to Wikipedia on social media sites and blogs? Or even any blog posts or unpublished research on this issue?
Thanks, Laura Hale
Hi Laura,
I'm not aware of any. Do you think there might be gender differences at play here?

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
