Re: [Gendergap] Systematic tagging for deletion of articles created at Art And Feminism editathon

Out of 12 deletion nominations for that group, the final result was one delete, one merge, and one draft moved to article space, plus some others created, for a net total of 19 articles. A few new editors submitted draft articles for review. None of the submissions that went that route ended up

Re: [Gendergap] Systematic tagging for deletion of articles created at Art And Feminism editathon

it's hard to tell the privileged ignorance from the actively sexist. ultimately motive does not matter. the biting culture rejects what does not fit the stereotype just as associate professor is a delete me sign, so is "feminist" an editathon for newbies are SPA, and where one of the article

Re: [Gendergap] Systematic tagging for deletion of articles created at Art And Feminism editathon

It was mostly a passing impulse that I was worried about, and decided to express, just in case. But since I'm currently semi-wikibonked, and you're actually participating in the discussions (thanks!), you probably know more than I do. From, Emily On Sun, Mar 13, 2016 at 3:26 PM, Pete Forsyth

No, from what I've seen there were more difficulties in locations that didn't use the draft template (we implemented the draft template pretty last-minute, so it wasn't everywhere). But I'm biased, because I helped to design the template :) Thanks, Pharos On Sun, Mar 13, 2016 at 6:08 PM, Emily

In general, creating articles are very difficult. The learning curve is steep, and it may be best to have people expand/improve articles instead of creating them. From, Emily On Mar 12, 2016 11:48 AM, "Ryan Kaldari" wrote: > I find it disappointing that so many of the

Re: [Gendergap] Systematic tagging for deletion of articles created at Art And Feminism editathon

I find it disappointing that so many of the Art and Feminism editathons end up focusing almost exclusively on creating new articles for artists at the hosting institution. Not only does this lead to a high percentage of the articles being deleted, but it's a waste of a huge opportunity to create

Someone should write a letter to the editor of the those 5 or 6 publications that came in my google alerts on the topic of the edit a thon. (Search news google to find them.) And of course deal with the few legtimate complaints and the trolls with nonsense complaints. On 3/12/2016 10:17 AM,
