I forgot about that one and it is still interesting, so thanks for reposting! Out of curiosity I also made some queries about the delta factor caused by the English Wikipedia's "Women-in-Red" initiative as opposed to our own Gendergap-in-nlwiki initiative in the Netherlands. I wrote some findings here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Women_in_Red/Archiv...

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
