[Gendergap] WMF grant proposal

[paul]

I have submitted a proposal
for one of WMF's new Individual
Engagement Grants. It is a pilot project to determine whether
coaching new editors on their writing for the English Wikipedia
improves editor retention, focusing on women and Global Southerners.
If you would like to endorse this project, you can do so here.
I would also appreciate any other feedback, pro or con, which can be
posted here.Thanks!Paul J. Weiss

[Gendergap] WikiWomen's History Month

[Sarah Stierch]

[Pardon the cross-posts - and the English message]  - Please forward as 
well!


Hi everyone,

March is Women's History Month, and this will be the second year for 
WikiWomen's History Month, an *international* collaborative event that 
takes place offline at edit-a-thons and online through project focuses. 
Events and projects focus on improving women's history coverage on any 
language project. We have a page on English Wikipedia, like last year, 
to gather all of the events:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiWomen%27s_History_Month

So far we have events in South America, Europe and the United States.

I hope you'll consider throwing an event in your town, village, or city 
- or do a women's history focus for your WikiProject - large or small!


Sarah
