Really excellent post! I love how you show that you don't have to give
up after someone reverts your edit. You can actually fight for it if you
believe it is correct (or bring in reinforcements).
Your post make me wonder if women are more indoctrinated by society to
acquiesce when they are corrected by others, and thus are less likely to
fight for their edits. If so, this is a big problem for Wikipedia since
getting reverted on controversial or popular articles is pretty much par
for the course. I've heard anecdotal stories from several women that
they actually restrict there editing to obscure topics so that they
don't have to deal with such conflicts. Thankfully, though, we have
women like Carol Moore and SlimVirgin who take the opposite approach!
I also love how you pointed out the obvious gender biases at work in the
Man article. As someone who has worked on both the Femininity and
Patriarchy articles, I can vouch for the 1950s viewpoint that tends to
dominate gender-related articles on Wikipedia.

Hi All -
I've just posted the 2nd in a 3-piece blog series on diversity in
Wikipedia:
http://1x57.com/2011/08/31/how-i-redefined-man-for-the-world-wikipedias-battle-for-diversity-part-ii/
I'd appreciate any thoughts and comments. The final post will cover
what's been going on at Wikipedia wrt to increasing diversity
(including this distro list) and how more people can get involved.
Sarah, if you could add the post to Scoop.It, I'd appreciate it.
Best,
Amy Senger

Adding semiprotection might help, too.

If there are oversighters on this list (Fred?), I'd appreciate an
oversight at [[Jessica Valenti], where an anon (58.175.246.206) has
linked to an attack site about her.

I've edited the article a lot myself so I'd prefer not to
admin-delete
it, and oversight would be better anyway. I've emailed the
oversight
team, but no response yet.
