Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red/Analysis of New articles 6-dec-2015 to 20-mar-2016

After the discussion under "Some results" (permalink) I decided to just download all of the 220723 items that are currently labelled gender=female on Wikidata and have sitelinks to English Wikipedia for further analysis. As of today, there are about 4600 of these items that were created new after 5 December until today (21 March). I spotchecked while looking for the beginning of my time period (I measured an increase of 7840 articles on Wikipedia total between 6-dec and 18-mar). Interestingly, it can take up to more than a month after publishing an article before a Wikidata item is created. Also, there are 33 deletions in this group and the query still returned the Q number (the sitelink is gone in Wikidata, so this may be a bug). Here are my spotchecks, and on the page is a dump of all 4600 items. Keep in mind these are only the articles with "high enough Q numbers to have caused new Wikidata item creations". Presumably the rest of the 7840 items I measured on the 18th were linked to existing Q numbers so to measure those I would need to query creation dates after 6-dec for articles about women.
