What is Wikipedia?[edit]

Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia, created and edited by volunteers around the world and hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation.

Gender Gap and Systemic Bias in Wikipedia[edit]

In Wikimedia projects, when we talk about “Gender Gap” in participation we are refering to the infra-representation of users who identified as women, genderfuid or gender non-conforming.
Gender gap in content has already been studied and evaluated mainly in English Wikipedia Data about Gender Gap in Wikidata http://tools.dicare.org/gaps/gender.php (gràfics verd̠-taronja)
The annual report of the WMF 2016 reports that only 13% of the total number of people who edit Wikipedia are women, a gender gap that leaves an inevitable footprint in Wikipedia's content. When biographies and concepts are edited and published by people who has little aware of the importance of the gender perspective to address the well reported gap in content and participation, those biographies and concepts keep reproducing biases that are not helping build the sum of all knowledge. In addition only 10% of wikipedia users identify as women
The Wikipedia project strives for a neutral point of view in its coverage of subjects, both in terms of the articles that are created and the content, perspective and sources within these articles. However, this goal is inhibited by systemic bias created by the shared social and cultural characteristics of most editors, and it results in an imbalanced coverage of subjects and perspectives on the encyclopedia (read more about Systemic Bias in Wikipedia)

Causes[edit]

The Wikimedia Foundation executive director Sue Gardner cited nine reasons why women don't edit Wikipedia, culled from comments by female Wikipedia editors:
1. A lack of user-friendliness in the editing interface
2. Not having enough free time
3. A lack of self-confidence
4. Aversion to conflict and an unwillingness to participate in lengthy edit wars
5. Belief that their contributions are too likely to be reverted or deleted
6. Some find its overall atmosphere misogynistic
7. Wikipedia culture is sexual in ways they find off-putting
8. Being addressed as male is off-putting to women whose primary language has grammatical gender
9. Fewer opportunities than other sites for social relationships and a welcoming tone

In a recent research on Gender Diversity Mapping lead by the well-known American Wikipedian Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight, five themes emerged:

Gender is highly culturally contextualized and can only be understood through a person’s cultural context
The wikimedia community is not as inclusive as it could be, although issues of inclusion and gender fluidity are complex
Implicit biases “permeates everything” and create a false sense of neutrality
It is important to acknowledge various degrees of participation and to not not creating a hierarchy
It is important narrating own stories through women’s voices and countering bias

Stephenson-Goodknight presented the first research findings in the Wikipedia Diversity Conference 2017, along with different participant contributions from where the themes that she were presenting emerged. One of the participants argued that “There is no such thing as voiceless, you are just denied hearing [our voices], [their voices], amplifying them”.
