In the case of the Stollzow case, I'd exercise a little caution only because she's from the skeptic community and there's been a lot of back-and-forth about feminism and gender equality in that community. It wouldn't put it past people to sock to nominate women skeptics for deletion. It'd be nice if we had OTRS agents more active in Commons who could proactively deal with these kinds of things. (They might be made to feel as welcome as Christians in lion enclosures, but that's another matter...) -- Tom Morris <http://tommorris.org/> _______________________________________________ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap
