Dear all,

In June this year, I attended the Info-Activism Camp run by Tactical Technology, on the theme of Evidence and Influence.

Following this, I was asked to contribute a piece on wikipedia's gender gap, which has just been published:
https://micromag.evidenceandinfluence.org/article/listening-to-the-dogs-of-data-wikipedia-and-the-gender-gap/

All comments welcome, ideally on the post itself, so that non-listers can also follow any discussion that may emerge.

Many thanks in particular to Sue Gardner and Joseph Reagle, for their most insightful blog posts, which are linked.

And there's lots of interesting stuff in the MicroMag on Gender and Violence, in which this piece was published:
