I don't know enough about Wikipedia conventions to talk about this
specific topic, but I can talk about the value of lists of women in
X. When we have few role models because there are few women in a
field, one of the ways to increase women's participation is to show
women or girls considering
Don't forget, you can also add the category to any women you might know

Umm, please don't do that. Users themselves should be the sole deciders of
what categories they wish to link to. For example, I hope nobody puts that
category on my userpage, and if they do it will be removed as soon as I can

Some people deliberately choose not to categorize themselves.
I think the argument behind deleting this category is WP:MYSPACE, which
isn't really sexist. I mean, I think it's taking WP:MYSPACE too far,

Just FYI, I just tried to search for male wikipedians and couldn't find
it. Anyone have better luck?

I'd suggest having a different category for that. (although I am not sure

See nowI don't see a lot of value in categorizing articles this way.
I'm not even certain that being a Wikipedian is a notable enough category
to include for an article, let alone being a *female* Wikipedian. The
standard for including someone in a category is that the category is
I agree that user categories should not be mixed up with article
categories. Being a Wikipedian isn't necessarily notable.
And for the record I don't choose to self-identify by placing myself in
to very many user categories, just ones that relate to getting the job
of editing done. There's

Aww, Sarah - I see you've already added those categories to Valerie Aurora's
and Sue Gardner's pages. Please don't do that. Neither of their articles
