Keeping the content of Wikipedia neutral is essential in guaranteeing its quality. Wikipedia's Neutral Point Of View Policy (NPOV) triggered research in elements that introduce bias to articles. One of the main areas of research was gender-oriented bias. Researchers used different ways to detect and analyze this bias. Different types of gender-oriented bias were found in Wikipedia. The session will present a review of several external (non-WMF) research projects on gender-oriented bias in Wikipedia.
