Re: [Gendergap] Kelly Wearstler, again...

Thanks for bringing this to our (well, mine, anyway) attention. It was troubling when it first showed up on BLPN in May and it's still troubling that so many (all male, looks like) editors are missing the point of BLP and UNDUE and are so dismissive of the career accomplishments of the subject of

Re: [Gendergap] Women's biographies at the main page's DYK (Did You Know?) section

DYK is pretty dysfunctional behind the scenes so I don't think there's any hope of changing DYK processes to address this issue. What can be done is to encourage individual WikiProjects addressing the gender gap to include submitting new and improved articles to DYK as a part of their regular

[Gendergap] The Signpost

Hello, I'm one of the new editor-in-chiefs of The Signpost, the community-written newspaper covering the English Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. While it is hosted on the English Wikipedia it is independent of the WMF. In March, we would like to include some content focusing on women's

Re: [Gendergap] Article: Wikipedia trolls now vs. women architects

Can anyone point to where this troll behavior happened? There don't seem to be a lot of specifics in this article, and I'm wondering if it's gender trolls (which are, alas, plentiful) or a culture clash between old editors and new ones over unfamiliar policies? On Sat, Apr 11, 2015 at 3:39 PM,

Re: [Gendergap] Wikipedia and Feminism.

Well, if you want to write articles about French women painters, go ahead. But you shouldn't do it just because you want more articles about women on Wikipedia. Why not? Nobody says this to the people who write articles about trains or video games. On Thu, Apr 9, 2015 at 2:29 PM, Ryan Kaldari

Re: [Gendergap] [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia DC Book Grant Program Announcement

Systemic bias issues on Wikipedia are often exacerbated by the lack of digital resources in certain subject areas. (Another reason for this librarian to get annoyed when people say everything is online.) The book grant program is a great way to help address this. On Mon, Mar 28, 2016 at
