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
