Speaking of topics that need expansion, there are still HUGE gaps in
Wikipedia's coverage of art outside of the United States. For example,
there are no articles for "Mexican art", "Polish art", "Swiss art", etc.
(not even stubs!) and don't even bother looking for African, South
American, or Asian countries.

Yes! I have never edited or contributed anything to wikiquote. I have
contributed to Wikisource, and I'm starting to think I'm the only
woman who ever has, even though it was two documents. I don't even
think there is much of anything related to women's history on
Wikisource...
We were discussing in #wikimedia-gendergap a few days ago about the
need for more featured images of women and related subjects on
Commons. I kept rolling my eyes everytime I saw the ATV that was a
featured image the other day.
I'm actually developing a wikipage that will showcase a collection of
topics that need expansion, watching, clean up, etc, and/or photos for
English Wikipedia, which I naturally assume will be the same for other
languages. Once it's a little fleshed out we can see if it's useful in
any way. I think it's interesting just to see what we're lacking
on...on top of the 1009232 other things I'm doing...

Looking at my wikiquotes talk page for the first time in a while,
I was reminded that is another area women's contributions may not
be taken as seriously.
Example: the deletion in 2009 of poet Marcella Boccia's quotes
from English wikipedia after her article had been deleted from En
wikipedia.
Actually, I just checked and it's not in the Italian wikipedia
version either. Despite
http://www.google.com/search?ned=us&hl=en&q=Marcella+Boccia&tbm=nws&tbs=ar:1
<http://www.google.com/search?ned=us&hl=en&q=Marcella+Boccia&tbm=nws&tbs=ar:1>
notability in Italian I noted at time of deletion discussion.
So let's not forget Wikiquote!!
