Hi Jane, great investigation.
I like this idea of looking at the gender gap by-profession, and seeing if
it is closing at any rate by sampling it over time. In fact, I put in a
project for the inspire campaign to automate recording these statistics
over time for all professions. It'd be great to
Hi everyone, I have been checking how we are doing on closing the gendergap
on biographies of women artists for a while. Part of the problem is
collecting the data, and Wikidata is a great help. Unfortunately there are
still lots of women artists with Wikidata items without any statements at
all,
Great thanks, for some reason the site really turned me around, I just
could not see how to find the main ideas page from what I thought was
the campaign page.
I see there are over 200 ideas, which is great, well over target

Indian.
I've never seen editithons that exclude people
I recognize at least some of the names on the attendance list there as
people who don't, to the best of my knowledge, identify as being of African
descent, so it doesn't appear to have been an event that excluded anyone.
My guess would be that the open to bit is intended to bring in people who

From a UK perspective, I have been to and helped to run a couple of
women-based editathons, they were mainly attended by women but were
never intended to be exclusive. There have also been a couple of black
history editathons in London, again they were not exclusive to any
particular group. I ran

Yes, the idea is to be extra inclusionary by reaching out to all these
groups explicitly, and in particular to representing different cultural
identities in rather non-monolithic African American / African Diasporic

There is indeed. And also rectovaginal fistula - its definitely a cluster
of articles that can use some TLC, but the coverage is
Articles about women are getting lost. Lost that is, to Google searches.
