I posted this on [Gendergap] mailing list at wikipedia but maybe this mailing list is more relevant for technical details.
I posted on my blog the table about percentages of men/women on different wikipedias. See http://www.gnuband.org/2011/02/10/percentage_of_men_and_women_on_different_wikipedias/ On Russian Wikipedia, users tend to express their gender much more (16.80%!). Amir left a comment saying that the User: namespace in Russian is translated into the equivalent of User_male: (I guess if the user set male in the preferences as gender) and User_female: (if female in the preferences). Do you know if this happens in other wikipedia as well? In Russian Wikipedia, if gender is not set, how User: is rendered? With the male equivalent or there is a neutral form? P.
