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:

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
