Update. "Studies have shown that [academic] women…are less likely to have a #Wikipedia biography than their male counterparts, and that, when they have a biography, it tends to be underdeveloped…Therefore, a number of projects have been created to increase women’s coverage on Wikipedia…The trend reversed in 2022, and women were 25% more likely than men to have a Wikipedia biography in 2024. In addition, women’s biographies tend to be longer than those of men." https://royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article-abstract/293/2071/20252566/481904/Monitoring-the-gender-gap-in-the-coverage-of
