- Commentary on Wikipedia's gender imbalance:
- : "We believe they would be more pleased to hear our results concerning the relative significance of the men and women appearing in Wikipedia, which we write about in ``Who's Bigger''. Over the past 300 years, the average women in Wikipedia is notably more significant than the average man. Our results reveal that women required greater accomplishments (analogous to 4 IQ points in the mean) to be recognized than men, up until very recent history."
