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?
