I recall that the two market leaders in the Chinese online encyclopedia
market have a much larger social networking side built into their software:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudong
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu_Baike

Our articles do not say anything about the gender balance in these projects.
