Hi Lennart! Not addressing the question of whether we've made any difference... but if you're quoting numbers AFAIK the best research on the gender gap numbers is Mako Hill and Aaron Shaw, from last year: http://mako.cc/copyrighteous/the-wikipedia-gender-gap-revisited
which tries to correct for the issues with opt-in surveys. Of course the overall point is, as Mako says, "Overall, these results reinforce the basic substantive finding that women are vastly under-represented among Wikipedia editors." -- phoebe On Wed, Feb 26, 2014 at 2:37 AM, Lennart Guldbrandsson < l_guldbrands...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I am writing a short (1500 word) text for the journal of current cultural > research, Culture Unbound (http://www.cultureunbound.ep.liu.se/index.html), > to be published in April.
