Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias/Gender gap task force/Media and research

The following is a selection of articles related to Wikipedia's gender gap. According to New York Magazine in 2014, "Wikipedia famously bears one of the starkest gender gaps in contemporary culture." Estimates of the percentage of Wikipedians who are female range from 8.5 to 16.1 percent.

The gender gap means not only that most articles are written by men, but that most of the content policies are too, including the notability and sourcing policies. These policies determine which articles about women can be hosted, and frame how they are written and sourced.

As of January 2015, just 15.5 percent of the 1,445,021 biographies on the English Wikipedia were of women. As a result of notability and sourcing issues, a great majority of Wikipedia's pre-20th-century biographies are of men. By August 2019, the overall percentage was 18%.
