The survey did not ask about race, but almost half live in Europe and one fifth in North America. Sarah Severson, a librarian at the University of Alberta and a member of the board for Wikimedia Foundation, said that the lack of diversity trickles to the content on the site, because its volunteer-based, so editors will work on pages that they are interested in. You see really long articles on Dungeons and Dragons characters, and you see an independent female artist having a small article, Severson said. You dont know whats missing unless you have diversity within the editor forces, she continued. When you have an editorial community thats all North American white men theyre just going to see different things. --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 <cite>Lebronwon posted [p:952458931] in 87% of Wik...

You see really long articles on Dungeons and Dragons characters, and you see an independent female artist having a small article, I'm sure the lack of diversity does actually distort what people make articles about, but that's a laughable ridiculous comparison. Dungeons and Dragons is a a huge franchise, with dozens if not hundreds of books which have reach the New York Times bestsellers. Of course those books characters are going to have larger articles than independent female artists.
