Hello
Sorry for highjacking your thread, but reading your message, I wanted to share with you a small page I made a few days ago, to quantify the double gap Gender/Africa.
http://www.wikiloveswomen.org/about-the-project/mind-the-gap/
If anyone has additional links or studies that could be useful to further illustrate that double gap... I am interested.
Also, if anyone is interested in further exploring this data-wise, please raise your hand ;)

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
