Abstract
Signed networks represent a particularly interesting class of complex networks with many applications in sociology, recommender, and voting systems. There are a couple of theories developed for the description of the structure of such networks, including the structural balance, status, and sentiment analysis. Most results devoted to signed networks are based on the assumption that the network under study is undirected. In this contribution we present initial results aimed at quantifying the amount to which real directed networks differ from undirected ones. We carry out our analysis for the network describing the Wikipedia adminship elections.
