Hoi,
EEK women EEK ... I think we should accept that our heroes deserve
attention. Calling Emily a hero as in an achiever is not a problem. Emily
is certainly notable and she is more than a figurehead.
I do not have a problem with celebrating our own notable people. When we
do, WE have a problem.

Actually I would say that is not true. The success of the english
Wikipedia's "Women in Red" project shows that editors are overwhelmingly
willing to close the gap, and only need to be pointed to the proper
resources to do so. When you say "closing the gap" I assume you mean
closing the content
I forgot about that one and it is still interesting, so thanks for
reposting! Out of curiosity I also made some queries about the delta factor
caused by the English Wikipedia's "Women-in-Red" initiative as opposed to
our own Gendergap-in-nlwiki initiative in the Netherlands. I wrote some
findings
I wrote about gender coverage on Wikipedia and Wikidata, including ODNB

Hoi,
When it is "SOP", why is it that you hear so little about the effects of
policies framed in terms of the rates we had or the rates we had in a
previous year.
The argument that there is a gender gap is getting tired when the argument
why it is a problem is only framed in the existence of the

Hoi,
Given the existing number of articles and the gender gap in them, it is
unlikely that activities make much of a difference. I think that it makes
more sense to compare the new articles and see if the percentages are
different in those. Did anyone look at it in this way?
Thanks,

I compiled some numbers for the Oxford DNB a while ago. After the most
recent update, they have 6630 female, 53260 male, so 9% female. (This
omits any group/family entries). I haven't crosschecked this against
the Wikidata figures but they should be broadly comparable.

Hi, as some of you may know, the Wikipedia gender indicator [1] tells us how
many articles are biographies about women x language/country/culture.
In order to compare these numbers...Does anyone knows if there is an existing
comparison with gender balance in classical encyclopedias?
