透过玻璃天花板的女性：维基百科中的性别不对称
Women Through the Glass Ceiling: Gender Asymmetries in Wikipedia
摘要：
维基百科是一个社区创建的百科全书，旨在从中立的角度记录世界知识，为历史的写作做出贡献从未像今天这样容易。虽然每个人都可以参与，但众所周知，编辑社区的多样性很小，大多数是白人男性编辑。虽然这种参与性\emph{gender gap}已被广泛研究的文献，这项工作规定了\emph{assess potential gender inequalities in Wikipedia articles}沿不同的维度：显著性，主题焦点，语言偏见，结构特性，和元数据呈现。我们发现：（i）女性在维基百科中比男性更受关注，这是一种微妙的玻璃天花板效应的结果;（ii）与家庭、性别和关系相关的主题在女性传记中出现得更多;（iii）语言偏见在维基百科中表现出来，因为抽象的术语倾向于在男性传记中描述积极的方面，而在女性传记中描述消极的方面;以及（iv）在元数据和超链接方面存在结构差异，这对信息搜索活动产生影响。虽然由于历史和社会背景，一些差异是可以预料的，但其他差异可归因于维基百科的编辑。这些差异的影响进行了讨论，维基百科的贡献政策铭记。我们希望，目前的工作将有助于提高认识，第一，性别问题的维基百科的内容，第二，不同层次上的性别偏见可以体现在网络上。
英文摘要：
Contributing to the writing of history has never been as easy as it is today thanks to Wikipedia, a community-created encyclopedia that aims to document the world's knowledge from a neutral point of view. Though everyone can participate it is well known that the editor community has a narrow diversity, with a majority of white male editors. While this participatory \emph{gender gap} has been studied extensively in the literature, this work sets out to \emph{assess potential gender inequalities in Wikipedia articles} along different dimensions: notability, topical focus, linguistic bias, structural properties, and meta-data presentation. We find that (i) women in Wikipedia are more notable than men, which we interpret as the outcome of a subtle glass ceiling effect; (ii) family-, gender-, and relationship-related topics are more present in biographies about women; (iii) linguistic bias manifests in Wikipedia since abstract terms tend to be used to describe positive aspects in the biographies of men and negative aspects in the biographies of women; and (iv) there are structural differences in terms of meta-data and hyperlinks, which have consequences for information-seeking activities. While some differences are expected, due to historical and social contexts, other differences are attributable to Wikipedia editors. The implications of such differences are discussed having Wikipedia contribution policies in mind. We hope that the present work will contribute to increased awareness about, first, gender issues in the content of Wikipedia, and second, the different levels on which gender biases can manifest on the Web.
