Gender bias on Wikipedia
Gender bias on Wikipedia is the phenomenon of men being more likely than women to be volunteer contributors and the subject of Wikipedia articles (the English Wikipedia has almost 400,000 biographies of women, and about four times as many biographies of men), Wikipedia also has less coverage of topics primarily of interest to women. In a 2018 survey covering 12 language versions of Wikipedia and some other Wikimedia Foundation projects, 90% of 3,734 respondents reported their gender as male, 8.8% as female, and 1% as other; among contributors to the English Wikipedia, 84.7% identified as male, 13.6% as female, and 1.7% as other (total of 88 respondents).
