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
