Hi Laura, Thanks for the reminding email.
Perhaps it would be helpful if you could add some explanation why you are collecting this information, what you want to make clear. Because as I explained before to you privately (and I see nothing has changed) at least for the Netherlands the stats that have been put up are almost hilarious. Lots of percentages, but every Dutch person will be able to tell you that many of them are of no meaning (Ripuarian is not a language spoken at any significant level in the Netherlands, Zealandic is considered mainly a dialect and has 1 admin, of course there are no Dutch women in the enwiki arbcom, because to my best knowledge there are no Dutch people in there at all at this moment, and I would wonder why there are no Dutch female admins on the Portuguese Wikinews...) I am not sure if it is just me, but reading this page ( http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp/FAQ/Perspectives/Netherlands ) I would almost think that this is a parody of something - I can't tell if it is the same in other countries. I am sure your intentions are good though, so perhaps it would be helpful to state somewhere what kind of information you're looking for that is *really* informative, and get rid of the non-relevant parts? I would say that the semi-automated adding of information isn't exactly helpful in at least the Dutch case - again, I can't vouch for other countries. Some information *is* interesting (interest ratios on Facebook or other external websites) and it would be a waste if that gets discarded because of the irrelevance of the rest of the page.
