Jonathan, Max, thanks for the pointers! I found the Reagle/Rhue as well, but like you said, it's only one smaller aspect of their data handling, so not exactly what I'm looking for.

But no, I don't believe there has been any academic work on the issue (another consequence of our over-focus on enwiki). Mako Hill and Aaron Shaw presented a paper on redirects at WikiSym last year, and their enwiki corpus & methodology<http://communitydata.cc/wiki-redirects/> could help you or others extend that line of research into gendered languages: http://mako.cc/academic/hill_shaw-consider_the_redirect.pdf Hope that helps! - Jonathan On Thu, Apr 2, 2015 at 1:28 PM, Flöck, Fabian <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Does anyone know about a study that looks at how often for example articles about a profession use the male instead of the female form as the name (female form doesn't exist or is just a redirect)? Could also be about any other article titles that can take male/female forms. It would probably not be a so much of an issue for English, but rather Spanish, German, Russian etc. Concrete example: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor exists in German, but https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professorin is just a redirect.
