The Dutch chapter WMNL has budgetted surveys to check %female contributors
and so far I believe we have measured 6%, 10% and 11% female (not all in
that timeline order, sadly). According to WHIGI the dawiki %female
biography ratio is higher than nlwiki by .1%. The nlwiki bio ratio for
women is just over 17% due mostly to lots of female athletes. We have a
huge number of historical men from older sources, but our ratio born after
1950 is still pretty low compared to lots of other wikis. Biggest problem
is lack of birthdates for women due to BLP concerns I suppose. So the data
is incomplete as well.
