This rant is inappropriate.
Islam doesn't do tolerance, in the sense that we understand it. In Islam
you cannot leave, it is death penalty if you chose another religion.
There is a grain of truth in such accusations, but you ascribe them to
the entire religion.

Hey Laura, I've been meaning to ask you this -- have you talked to Siska
Doviana in Indonesia? She's run a couple university contests, and reported on
them. I'm not sure if there's been formal research, but she is full of
information. I could introduce you if you haven't met her.

on the participation of women of women to generic topics, which was what
I was looking for when I first came.

The GLAM industry is a female dominated industry, and this is the first
conference of it's type to examine feminism, technology and museum culture. I
encourage you all to follow the conference throughout the weekend...

As an aside, I've noticed how a lot of active female editors

Don't get me wrong. If Wikipedia was around when I was 14, I so would have
joined WP:Feminism. But, I was a 14 year old riot grrrl using BBSes. ;-)

Hi everyone,
Just a reminder that we have a #wikimedia-gendergap IRC (internet relay
chat) channel! This is a hang out spot where those who are interested in the
gender gap talk shop - often subjects related to discussions on the list,
help each other out, and just get to know each other. We

What are some questions we could ask the user that only a real 13 year

Whether or not the editor is indeed thirteen years old is probably relatively
unimportant.
What matters is that voices in the RfC generally (about 3:1) oppose the idea
of a minimum age of 18 for contributors to the WikiProject.
Arnaud, I think you should not underestimate the impact of poverty as

typical Christian was just as intolerant, bigoted, and patriarchal as
your most extreme Muslim. Once Westerners went from being peasants to

For legal reasons you have to have a minimum age of 18 and kick off
anyone who admits they are under 18 or are somehow exposed as being
