Fwd: [Wikimedia-l] Fresh data on the gender gap in content
by Bodhisattwa Mandal 16 Jun '16

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Asaf Bartov" <abartov(a)wikimedia.org> Date: Jun 17, 2016 12:45 AM Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Fresh data on the gender gap in content To: "Wikimedia Mailing List" <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Cc: Hullo everyone. I was asked by a volunteer for help getting stats on the gender gap in content on a certain Wikipedia, and came up with simple Wikidata Query Service[1] queries that pulled the total number of articles on a given Wikipedia about men and about women, to calculate *the proportion of articles about women out of all articles about humans*. Then I was curious about how that wiki compared to other wikis, so I ran the queries on a bunch of languages, and gathered the results into a table, here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ijon/Content_gap (please see the *caveat* there.) I don't have time to fully write-up everything I find interesting in those results, but I will quickly point out the following: 1. The Nepali statistic is simply astonishing! There must be a story there. I'm keen on learning more about this, if anyone can shed light. 2. Evidently, ~13%-17% seems like a robust average of the proportion of articles about women among all biographies. 3. among the top 10 largest wikis, Japanese is the least imbalanced. Good job, Japanese Wikipedians! I wonder if you have a good sense of what drives this relatively better balance. (my instinctive guess is pop culture coverage.) 4. among the top 10 largest wikis, Russian is the most imbalanced. 5. I intend to re-generate these stats every two months or so, to eventually have some sense of trends and changes. 6. Your efforts, particularly on small-to-medium wikis, can really make a dent in these numbers! For example, it seems I am personally responsible[2] for almost 1% of the coverage of women on Hebrew Wikipedia! :) 7. I encourage you to share these numbers with your communities. Perhaps you'd like to overtake the wiki just above yours? :) 8. I'm happy to add additional languages to the table, by request. Or you can do it yourself, too. :) A. [1] https://query.wikidata.org/ [2] Yay #100wikidays :) https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/100wikidays -- Asaf Bartov Wikimedia Foundation <http://www.wikimediafoundation.org> Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.

Kshitij is the annual techno-management symposium of IIT Kharagpur. Since its inception in 2004 it has grown exponentially and has become the *largest symposium of its kind in Asia*. Kshitij comprises a diverse array of highly competitive technical and managerial events which attract the participation of the best brains of the leading engineering and management institutes from all across the country and even from abroad. *Statistics:* · *Largest techno-management symposium in Asia.* · More than *70,000 participants* from all over India annually. · More than *65 lacs* of prize money. · *1,40,000+* followers on social media. · Over *100 Million clicks* on our official website (www.ktj.in). · *13 glorious years* of India's leading college fest. · Patronage from *UNESCO, SAYEN & CEE*. Hence we believe association with *Kshitij* will help* Wikimedia* to strike a chord with the student fraternity and also build a strong relationship with IIT Kharagpur. *14th edition of Kshitij* is scheduled from* 26th December-29th December, 2016*. As the stage gets set for the next edition of our techno-management fest, we, the students and the faculty of IIT Kharagpur look forward to your co-operation and support in making our endeavour a huge success. *Our immense presence amongst the youth, developed in the previous decade helps us to provide various endorsement opportunities for corporates.* Referring the *MOTACHASHMA *( http://www.motachashma.com/scholarships/wiki-loves-earth-india.php), we came to know about the photography competition that you conduct every year (*Wiki loves earth)*. In Kshitij, we have an event on photography by name 'SNAPPIT'. We associate with different companies and organisations for the topic for the photography. This year we would like you to give the topic for the same and let the finalists participate in your event in its next edition.

Re: [Wikimedia-in-WB] Blog post (draft)
by Bodhisattwa Mandal 07 Jun '16

Kalyanda, My personal opinion is to omit all individual names and show it as a collective team effort. But if you prefer to provide individual names, then please add few more names, who are significantly contributing to make the project larger. You can find the names at the following link - https://bn.wikisource.org/s/14i4 And also, the claim of third most voluminous in terms of content, should be humbly put, because, in Wikisource, the number of proofread pages is more important indicator than number of total page namespaces. Large Wikisource projects don't bother about the quantity (total page namespaces), but with the quality (number of proofread pages). We are far behind in this indicator.
