Caroline, I've responded on the talk page with some further advice on how to do OR notes. Pi zero is giving you accurate advice about Wikinews original research publishing. -- Tom Morris http://tommorris.org/ ___ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap
[Gendergap] Hackathon 2012 in Berlin
Hi everyone, Hackathon Berlin is June 1-3 in...you guessed it, Berlin, Germany. As always, it'd be great to have anyone, of any gender, interested in MediaWiki, bots, templates, data geeks, etc, involved in participating. There will also be some focus on the Wikidata project as developed by Wikimedia Germany. But, with any hack event I encourage you to share this and encourage women hackers to participate! http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Berlin_Hackathon_2012 Any questions or if your interest goes beyond attending (participating in another manner) please email Sumana, whom I have copied here.

[Gendergap] BuzzFeed articles
Two recent Buzzfeed articles: 1. *Wikipedia's Gender Gap, As Measured By Famous Birthdays*, by Anna North http://www.buzzfeed.com/annanorth/wikipedias-gender-gap-as-measured-by-famous-birt A gender gap continues to plague Wikipedia, and one of its main effects is on the kinds of people the encyclopedia considers noteworthy. We took a look at this through the lens of birthdays. 2. *The Epic Battle For Wikipedia's Autofellatio Page*, by Jack Stuef In the underbelly of Wikipedia is an exhibitionist subculture dedicated to one thing: Ensuring that their penis is the visual definition of penis. Meet Jiffman, one such exhibitionist. (This article is very probably NSFW.) http://www.buzzfeed.com/jackstuef/inside-the-seedy-world-of-wikipedia-exhibitionism A Part II continuation of the second article should appear on BuzzFeed later today. ___ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap

[Gendergap] Rewards help!
Hi everyone, This study was shared with me this morning and discusses how informal rewards (barnstars) do make a significant impact on the contributions and productivity of editors. http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0034358 It's a quick read, and helps to solidify the research and theories that a number of us have theorized about. Give a little wikilove today to a new experienced editor, it really does make a difference :) -Sarah -- *Sarah Stierch* */Wikimedia Foundation Community Fellow/* Support the sharing of free knowledge around the world: donate today https://donate.wikimedia.org/ ___ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap

On 4/2/12 11:40 PM, Sarah wrote: Hi Sarah, I've been meaning to ask this for awhile but didn't know where. This seems as good an opportunity as any. :) Hi to you other Sarah :) (Hehehe!) Something I find offputting about the wikilove awards is that they leave an edit summary of new WikiLove message. I've only used it once because of that, and if I use it again I'll paste in my own message and image rather than use the template. Do you know whether there's a way individuals can change those edit summaries, or can the template be tweaked centrally so it doesn't automatically do that? I'm just thinking that if I was put off by the edit summary, others might be too. I can see how that can be off-putting for sure. Sometimes even I go ergh, wikilove, and I'd rather have my edit saying A barnstar for you! or Here's a brownie..nom or whatever I might be in the mood for. But sadly, on that note, I have no idea if it's able to be changed. We'll have to ask Kaldari, as wikilove his is grand creation! (ala Frankenstein!) So...we shall await his response! -Sarah -- *Sarah Stierch* */Wikimedia Foundation Community Fellow/* Support the sharing of free knowledge around the world: donate today https://donate.wikimedia.org/ ___ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap
