Re: [Gendergap] Wikiquotes
Yes! I have never edited or contributed anything to wikiquote. I have contributed to Wikisource, and I'm starting to think I'm the only woman who ever has, even though it was two documents. I don't even think there is much of anything related to women's history on Wikisource... We were discussing in #wikimedia-gendergap a few days ago about the need for more featured images of women and related subjects on Commons. I kept rolling my eyes everytime I saw the ATV that was a featured image the other day. I'm actually developing a wikipage that will showcase a collection of topics that need expansion, watching, clean up, etc, and/or photos for English Wikipedia, which I naturally assume will be the same for other languages. Once it's a little fleshed out we can see if it's useful in any way. I think it's interesting just to see what we're lacking on...on top of the 1009232 other things I'm doing... -Sarah On Thu, Sep 15, 2011 at 9:08 AM, carolmoor...@verizon.net wrote: Looking at my wikiquotes talk page for the first time in a while, I was reminded that is another area women's contributions may not be taken as seriously.

Re: [Gendergap] Wikiquotes
Speaking of topics that need expansion, there are still HUGE gaps in Wikipedia's coverage of art outside of the United States. For example, there are no articles for Mexican art, Polish art, Swiss art, etc. (not even stubs!) and don't even bother looking for African, South American, or Asian countries.

Re: [Gendergap] Wikiquotes
There is a portal feminism on Wikisource but it is very under developed. http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Portal:Feminism See Josephine K. Henry added to the portal by me in March 2010. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephine_K._Henry http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Author:Josephine_K._Henry The portal is not been edited very much since then. I wrote about Nannie Helen Burroughs on WP and WQ. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nannie_Helen_Burroughs http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Nannie_Helen_Burroughs One way to do it is to write an Wikipedia article, upload images to Commons, add their published works to Wikisource, and an entry on Wikiquote with good quotes. It is a very efficient way to do it. I've done it in the past for a few people. It is a great way to meet new people on the other projects.
