2011-09-30 Thread Andreas Kolbe

[Gendergap] vulgar jokes and sexualized environments on Wikipedia

It seems from my experience that WP:RD2 is usually interpreted fairly narrowly, at least in the cases I've tried to use it. Specifically it requires the material to be grossly offensive and excludes 'ordinary' incivility. In the world of Wikipedia, grossly offensive is a pretty high bar it

I changed the image of a uniform example in the gallery of [[Neckline]] to one showing the V-neckline in use by both sexes (and without the confusing additional undershirt neckline). Hope that's more balanced, representative and clear. Gillian On 18 September 2011 06:28, Emily Monroe
