Re: [Gendergap] Upskirt/downblouse categories (was: Re: So this is how Commons works?)

Especially when the images are scraped off the CC-BY and CC-BY-SA Flickr streams. That was something I noticed the other day. An anon replaced the infobox image on Veganism with a close-up shot of a woman's genitals and a vibrator. I looked to see who had uploaded it and it said Flickr

[Gendergap] Monitoring impact on female participation

So how can we measure what impact we're having on getting women to participate? Over the next few months Wikimedia UK's very going to be adopting a rather more formal set of reporting procedures. I just wondered if people on this list had any thoughts about how we could build in some gender

Re: [Gendergap] More Dangerous to be a Woman Than a Soldier

On the whole I think our military history articles aren't great at dealing with sexual violence, on a number of dimensions. For instance, there was a large amount of well-documented rape and sexual mutiliation of Vietnamese women by U.S. forces in Vietnam, but the Vietnam War article doesn't

[Gendergap] Please help - female faces for fundraiser in UK

Hello, Just a quick favour to ask any women on this list who are based in, or have links to, the UK I'm leading Wikimedia UK's participation in the fundraiser and am keen to make sure we have fundraising banners which aren't just men, men and more men. There are various appeals produced by the

[Gendergap] Surplus women and World War I

Dear all, Just wanted to let you know about some interesting contributions to the Wikimedia article gender balance from a slightly unexpected source. On Saturday, Wikimedia UK had a World War I-themed Editathon[1], where we essentially put a lot of Wikimedians and a group of academics in a room

Hopefully they aren't proposing a standard tougher than than on all the other mailing lists, none of which I personally belong to. Oddly enough I've just made that point on-wiki. (Before I'd properly read your email!) That said I *do* think this list could do with more active moderation.

[Gendergap] Diversity training for functionaries

Don't know if this has been floated before - apologies if so - but: Part of the problem we have is the sheer depth of ignorance among otherwise well-intentioned community members. This depth of ignorance is naturally shared by the people who play leadership roles in the community. So we end up

Re: [Gendergap] Gender gap emails Arbitrator doesn't like

This is also part of the problem - we have helpful contributions from people like Reguyla / Kumioko who is basically here to complain about how awful Arbcom are. Some months ago he was engaged in a campaign of personal abuse against arbitrators which to be frank is exactly the kind of thing that

[Gendergap] Good sources for criticism of sexism in traditional media

Hi all, Just wondered if anyone here knew any good sources about the prevalence / impact of sexism in traditional media? I'm particularly thinking of adding to this article, where all I can find on a quick Google is things on HuffPost and Jezebel which aren't particularly great to use on-wiki,
