I believe this is twin to the common problem in English Wikipedia culture of an inappropriate bias against sources that are not written in English, or not readily findable online (and often both apply). Given that English is much more of a lingua franca in the sciences than in other disciplines, it should not be surprising if this leads to inferior coverage in the humanities.
