Yes. That is SOP for studies about biographies and literature in general. On 20 Apr 2016 18:04, "Gerard Meijssen" gerard.meijssen@gmail.com wrote:
Hoi, Given the existing number of articles and the gender gap in them, it is unlikely that activities make much of a difference. I think that it makes more sense to compare the new articles and see if the percentages are different in those. Did anyone look at it in this way? Thanks, GerardM

Hi, as some of you may know, the Wikipedia gender indicator [1] tells us how many articles are biographies about women x language/country/culture.
In order to compare these numbers...Does anyone knows if there is an existing comparison with gender balance in classical encyclopedias? (Britannica, Larousse...) or, if not, could someone prepare a WD query about it?
I think it could be a good argument for us to use: e.g "at cawiki 12% of bios are about women, compared to 5% in GEC, Our most famous
encyclopedia".
We could compare it also for temathic encyclopedias or other databases existing in projects like Mix and match.
Can someone help? thanks in advance
