There are other more powerful groups that would use the precedent to create a template that would censor a number of articles that already are heavily patrolled and censored by organized groups of editors (many of them surely paid, not that they'd ever admit it).

Instead use the POV template and make editors think by explaining the POV template on the talk page. And mention the problem on Wikiproject Feminism.

What do you think about creating a {{gendergap}} or {{GNPOV}} (gender-neutral point of view) template in en:WP? This could have a format similar to

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:NPOV

and could use an image like

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Igualtat_de_sexes.svg

The text could say something like:

"The gender neutrality of this article is disputed. Please see the discussion on the talk page. Please do not remove this message until the dispute is resolved."

Note that templates of this sort come with associated categories such as

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:NPOV_disputes_from_September_2011

These categories can help identify articles with active disputes.

Thoughts?

Do we already have a template like that that I am unaware of?

Best,
Andreas
