Yes you have a point there, and it is this "systemic interweb gender bias"
which is interesting. Due to our need for "reliable sources" to solve
gendergap issues, it would be nice to be able to expose these "interweb"
imbalances with graphs like yours for all databases. What does the ODNB
look like
Google image search for properly licensed images didn't give me an image of
her, neither did Commons. Maybe I just overlooked it, but maybe there is no
image of her in the article because there is no free image of her? In that
case, it would not be bias of Wikipedia, but again bias of the interwebs
Exactly! However, I do think this example woman shows a Wikipedia gender
bias towards men in that her husband's article has an image and hers doesn't

Well here you get into a problem with data in the databases. Often the
records for men are more fleshed out than for women.
Here are two records in the RKD for male and female based on a US-based
husband & wife duo never active in the Netherlands, but who were made
popular (with articles on 4 or m
Well, a "local bias" would push the total coverage in a certain language,
as evidences by high nl.wp coverage for RKD but not for ULAN. But how would
that affect the gender bias? No matter how popular RKDartists are on a
Wikipedia, unbiased coverage should always put them on the line in my
plots. H
Magnus,
That is very cool! I also noticed the same trend, which indeed does at
first glance appear to be a male bias in the language wikis. However,
drilling down into the actual data it's really not so bad. What you
actually see is a strong bias from the ULAN for artists who have been

Hi all,
I am compiling some stats regarding the work done on the Art & Feminism
edit-a-thons for my local chapter and while checking the state of the wikis
regarding female artists I noticed that there are huge local differences
per language wiki regarding "who is notable". One of the things I love
