Notes
^ There is a pronounced
gender gap in Wikipedia's editing community, with women comprising probably 10-16% of all editors. Because editors often contribute to topics they are familiar with and that concern them, Wikipedia has a tendency to provide poor coverage of topics that concern and are of interest to women. This systemic bias has the potential to exacerbate an historical record that already gives undue emphasis to men.
