Campus Ambassadors at Indiana University.

I've seen Japanese text books which have happy, healthy, young
male and female faces that are utilized to comment upon the text.
More like Ash from Pokemon (not the Nurse, lol!)
Why couldn't the personification of Wikipedia a pair of
happy, healthy, young people, a male and a female?

I noticed that the article

just survived a second deletion attempt.

I really like this idea. It wouldn't even have to be a drawing -- you could
use pictures of men and women editing, discussing and appearing in panels
together at Wikimania and other wiki conferences/meetups.

Thinking out loud here:
Having images that contain both a female and a male figure might actually
be useful for young men, on a subliminal level.
Having the two figures drawn in
My suggestion for future brochures for newbies would be stories and
tips related to getting started editing from real-life Wikipedia
editors of both genders.

Ways of dealing with it: come up with much more appropriate and popular
symbol widely disseminated.
Come up with male and female wikipe-tans and put those up.
Try to delete all the female only ones.

Perhaps one project for us to undertake is to make more Wikimedia
women visible. Perhaps there are invisible women working in the
background? I know, for example, that 5 of the 6 Campus Ambassadors
here at Indiana University for the Public Policy Initiative are women.
That means that when people "s

Hello,
my problem in Wikipedia is, that we have not many rolemodels who are
not very known outside of the Wikim/pedia world. The only one, who is
