I think the project evolved over time. It may be that this page did not
exist in the first version.
Clearly, the site has been modified recently because the name changed
from WIGI to WHGI. And I see the main four pages has been updated.
If you look at "Gender by language" for example, it mentions "As of
January 2016 about 98% of biographies were attached to at least one
Wikipedia site, so this data is mostly complete."
Gender by date of birth and death mentions "As of January 2016, only
about 72% and 36% of biographies, had date of birth and date of death
data, respectively, so this data is incomplete."
Gender by country mentions "As of January 2016, only about 30% of
biographies, had place of birth, so this data is incomplete."
and "As of January 2016, only about 65% of biographies, had culture, so
this data is incomplete."
Recently, these dates were much further in the past. I know because I
noticed and ask Max for fresher data

A small table published there may answer part of your questions.

Thanks, Florence!
I was aware of the WIGI research project (and have linked to it in the
==See Also== section of my page), but I was not aware of this page. Neat!
So I won't need to update my own page. :)

Hello Asaf
Just making sure that you knew about WHGI :
http://whgi.wmflabs.org/gender-by-language.html
Do you know if there are differences in analysis between the two analysis ?
I checked a few figures and it fits pretty well.

Hullo everyone.
I was asked by a volunteer for help getting stats on the gender gap in
content on a certain Wikipedia, and came up with simple Wikidata Query
Service[1] queries that pulled the total number of articles on a given
Wikipedia about men and about women, to calculate *the proportion of
articles about women out of all articles about humans*.
Then I was curious about how that wiki compared to other wikis, so I ran
the queries on a bunch of languages, and gathered the results into a
table,
here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ijon/Content_gap
(please see the *caveat* there.)
I don't have time to fully write-up everything I find interesting in those
results, but I will quickly point out the following:
1. The Nepali statistic is simply astonishing! There must be a story
there. I'm keen on learning more about this, if anyone can shed light.
2. Evidently, ~13%-17% seems like a robust average of the proportion of
articles about women among all biographies.
3. among the top 10 largest wikis, Japanese is the least imbalanced. Good
job, Japanese Wikipedians! I wonder if you have a good sense of what
drives this relatively better balance. (my instinctive guess is pop
culture
coverage.)
4. among the top 10 largest wikis, Russian is the most imbalanced.
5. I intend to re-generate these stats every two months or so, to
eventually have some sense of trends and changes.
6. Your efforts, particularly on small-to-medium wikis, can really make a
dent in these numbers! For example, it seems I am personally
responsible[2] for almost 1% of the coverage of women on Hebrew Wikipedia!
:)
7. I encourage you to share these numbers with your communities. Perhaps
you'd like to overtake the wiki just above yours? :)
8. I'm happy to add additional languages to the table, by request. Or you
can do it yourself, too. :)
