Aude - Thank you!! If there is anything we can do to help out, please let us
know. As I said, when I was informed, I was deeply disturbed. I can't speak
for everyone here, but myself and I am sure many other women/men on this
list, have your back on this. Whatever you need, please let us know.
Help is needed.

Sarah's conclusions are in sync with what I've heard from the team at the
Wikimedia Foundation. But, and that's a crucial point, the goal with the
collaborations with the universites is not to make everyone a Wikipedian. I
know, that may be strange or counter-intuitive. It certainly was for
I think the overall medium-term results so far has been one person at
most per course staying on Wikipedia after the course, and more
frequently nobody at all. I think this not necessarily a result of
bad experiences or coercion, but rather that curiosity is not
necessarily going to equal
In answer to Sandra's original question: Yes, I'm deeply concerned about the
prospects for Wikimania given the present situation.
However, Anne makes a good point below. There are a couple things it's
important to keep in mind though:

I think it just shows another aspect of Wikimedia that I think needs a
better examination - banning and blocks and activities of those members on
other projects. Extended blockings (1 year) and bannings mean that a user
can't participate on that one project - but they are welcome to participate

Hi folks,
It was brought up on WP:XX that it's worth monitoring the articles of the
recent winners of the Nobel Peace Prize, which includes three women:

Lennart's exactly correct: The primary goal of our program is to improve the
content of Wikipedia by reaching out to academia. We're of course very
excited if a student becomes a Wikipedian (and many have), but that's not
our primary goal.
And yes, our students do get slapped on the hand for

You say, Would it not be more consistent to use a more balanced and
cohesive aesthetic style across the whole subject of human reproduction
and sexuality?
Yes, and we do discuss that here. One train of thought is to use images
of people as they are rather than idealized images.
Fred
Yes, and a consistent approach would then evolve - ?

I didn't see anything confidential here. OTRS referred her to this list.

Theo - From what I understand, the agent told the customer (Leilah Ozaibi)
to bring the subject up on the gender gap list.
Leilah forwarded it - she is the person who inquired to OTRS. So it's in her
control - it wasn't forwarded by an OTRS agent, be assured!
