Re: [Gendergap] Fwd: Photo of the Day on Wikimedia Commons
It is on the English Wikipedia that an attempt was made to draw firm lines regarding civility; though it has partially failed. Our efforts were even mentioned in The New York Times, although, when I searched I found this: https://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/09/technology/09blog.html Which is interesting in its own right. This was the one I was looking for: https://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/29/weekinreview/29cohen.html Fred Guess we need lots more people on Commons, too, who do not tolerate bigotry towards women On 5/26/2011 8:01 PM, Béria Lima wrote: carol, en.wiki aproved that, Commons didn't.

Re: [Gendergap] Fwd: Photo of the Day on Wikimedia Commons
Comments like that don't make me run out of commons, but they do get an eye roll from me at the very least. I don't see why that kind of comment is necessary. The images or comments are not what keep me from participating in commons, it's not having a clear sense of whether or not comments like that are the norm on commons or considered acceptable, as well as not knowing the best way to respond. I spend most of my time on a smaller wiki, where I have a better sense of what the rules are and who to contact within that community for advice on how to handle that kind of thing. Since I don't have as good a sense of the issues on Commons, I usually don't comment. On Mon, May 23, 2011 at 7:56 AM, Béria Lima beria.l...@wikimedia.pt wrote: Sarah Speak for yourself.
