Does anyone know what's going on with the
Spanish Wikipedia? The last
two articles I created, of Laxmi_Aggarwal and Maha Al Muneef--women who
have been awarded the International Women of Courage Award--have been
nominated for speedy deletion as not being encyclopedic. See my talk page
<http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usuario_discusi%C3%B3n:Neotarf>. My
article on the award itself <http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mujer_coraje>
remains untouched, but you can see the only articles that remain as blue
links are of Hispanic women.

Interesting, thanks for the links! We also now
have mix-n-match and
Charles Matthews has matched the complete Oxford Dictionary of National
Biography, With autolist I could probably look at those male-female ratios
per occupation. Might be interesting. I don't know how to get at the
"deleted & recreated" data though

Hi Jane, I've done comparative work on coverage bias in biographies
between WP and Britannica [1]. I've also shared my data [2] with an
author of [3] who is extending that analysis to include structural,
lexical, and visibility bias. I think addressing deletion and recreation
wouldn't be too hard...
