This is so interesting! I hadn't see it before. Thanks for sharing. Now I'm
wondering what the overall emotional tone would amount to on wikiHow, in
comparison...

[Gendergap] Study on Wikipedia's communication environment and gender gap

[o]

Apologies if this study has already been linked here.

Barcelona Media studied emotion and dialogue on English Wikipedia 
article talk pages and published the paper "Emotions under Discussion: 
Gender, Status and Communication in Online Collaboration" in PLOS ONE. 
Among the study's findings was that "female editors engage in 
relationship-oriented speech that is conducive to a positive working 
environment."


I believe their conclusions also reinforce some of the initiatives at 
the Gender Gap Task Force. Particularly relevant is their conclusion 
that "our results suggest that being able to involve more women and to 
give them more space in the community would also result in a virtuous 
cycle of female participation, through the creation of a communication 
environment where they feel more comfortable."
