A subpage in an existing project would be one idea but please not the Feminism
project. I was invited to it very early on by well meaning editors as a place
for such discussions but found sex-positive feminists who think female porn
stars are the definition of female empowerment.
Gender Studies is fine, but how about
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Discrimination
Perhaps in the short-term the use of the following templates could be extended,
or similar templates developed to cover identified articles, so editors work on
draft changes on their user page, they are checked by gender-friendly
ambassadors who are also have specialist knowledge in the area that the article
covers. It would be less about taking on individual editors and their
behaviour, and more about saying, actually a decision has been made to put
this article under an umbrella.
* Template:WAP assignment
* Template:Educational assignment
* Template:Course assignment
Example template code:
{{main other||{{tmbox| image = [[File:Male_and_female_sign.svg|50px]]| style =
text-align:center;| text = This article {{#if:{{{ended|}}}|
{{#switch:{{{ended|}}}|NO|N|n|False|false|no=is|#default=was}}|is}} the subject
of gender related affirmative action {{#if:{{{university|}}}|at
{{{university} supported by
{{#if:{{{project|}}}|[[Wikipedia:{{{project}}}|{{{project}}}]] and}} the
Wikipedia Pro-female Ambassador Program{{#if:{{{term|}}}| #32;during the
{{{term}}} term}}
I noticed that Professor Diana Strassman, the founding editor of the journal
Feminist Economics is an Wikipedia editor (User:DStrassmann) and runs
Wikipedia Education Program Courses (although I don't see recent contributions
from her).
Co-editor of the journal is Professor Günseli Berik, she is also a Wikipedia
editor (User:BerikG) and also runs academic programs, perhaps she would like to
get involved.

it would be worth making threads for some of these ideas.
If no one else does, I’d be happy to.
*Threads
here? Like proposals that could be worked over and brought to
our various wikis? That's what we need to do. I re-named one
thread that dealt with one issue and renamed this one too,
just for emphasis...
I’m not very familiar with the process
of starting Wikiprojects, but I imagine the biggest barrier
to entry to this would be finding someone for each
language. I imagine that this would work something like the
ambassador program, at least on the smaller Wikipedias.
This is to say on Wikipedias where the project is too small
to really have someone who can handle the Wikiproject we
would find a volunteer on Meta who speaks that language and
would have them generally just keep an eye on things. Each
of these Wikiprojects should have a noticeboard of some sort
that folks having issues can post to that the ambassador
type would keep an eye on.
Does this all sound reasonable?
Thank you,

First, of course, there is
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Gender_Studies
which even has a Mind_the_Gap_Award And of course there is a
Wikiproject Feminism. And I'm sure other languages have such
projects.
Would it want to take on subpages that dealt with women's issues
with harassment, insults, double standards and the stickier problems
that bother women?
Of course, I remember when something with such a goal was proposed
way back in 2011 on this list there were concerns about it giving
women specifial privileges or something. I forget. People created
the Tea House instead.
But some relevant subgroup of Wikiproject Gender Studies or
Feminism, like anything else, some women hopefully have to spearhead
it and maintain it. I'm too burned out myself.
