Yes. I've been working on researching the gender gap on a different site,
with a similar imbalance but is also considered an information knowledge

inside the community looking at gender issue on Quora.
In the past six months, there has been a noticable

to determine if edits are coming from fans of the sport, fans of the league,
fans of specific teams. I can probably get some one to build me a tool that
does what I want but I'd rather not reinvent the wheel if it already exists.
