Re: [Gendergap] washington dc
Hi all, I'm on the DC Chapter Board with Katie. Thanks for giving us an opportunity to discuss this. To Joanna's and others' questions (particularly in the DC area, but anyone's welcome!): one of the best ways to help out would be to join the Chapter, participate in events, and help us find ways to include more diverse voices in Wikipedia and other Wiki projects. Most importantly, consider running for a leadership position in the future - our chapter needs leaders who care about these issues and actively look for opportunities to address them and advocate for improvement. More generally, Wikimedia DC looks forward to helping increase female participation. Indeed, two members of the Board are women, all of our Board members recognize the importance of these issues, and we continue to invite in more women to Wiki projects through the multiple outreach projects we are hosting in our community. Please feel free to reach out to any of us directly...especially if you want to get involved!

Re: [Gendergap] washington dc
As a member of the DC Chapter who does not live in DC, I would suggest allowing proxy voting to encourage broader participation.

[Gendergap] Chapters - get involved - Re: washington dc
+1 to that. I've voiced my opinion previously about that on the WM DC mailing list. Folks, if you wish to get involved with one of the two chapters in the United States, you can learn more here if you're interested in Washington, DC: http://wikimediadc.org/wiki/Home And you can join the mailing list, which is the best place to voice opinions (and Katie did forward the message about concerns regarding the blocked user on the board on the mailing list and no one has commented, yet.): http://wikimediadc.org/wiki/Get_involved And there is also Wikimedia NYC: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_New_York_City If you live outside of the US, you can learn more about your local, regional, or national chapter here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_chapters -Sarah On Mon, Oct 10, 2011 at 2:01 PM, Ryan Kaldari rkald...@wikimedia.orgwrote: ** As a member of the DC Chapter who does not live in DC, I would suggest allowing proxy voting to encourage broader participation.

[Gendergap] Louise Nevelson = Good Article FTW
Just wanted to share that [[Louise Nevelson]] was promoted to Good Article status today! Thanks to everyone who helped contribute to the article about one of the grandmothers of feminist art. (She has her own plate at the *Dinner Party...*) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louise_Nevelson She was a fascinating character, and I do hope you'll enjoy reading about her as much as I enjoyed helping to write the article.
