[Gendergap] WP:ANI on Disruption of Gender Gap Task Force

2014-09-04 Thread Carol Moore dc

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Disruption_of_Wikiproject

After multiple complaints by other editors about this, I decided to 
bring an ANI. It might not be the best constructed one possible. And 
maybe I'm not the best person to do it, being a little "too" outspoken 
(I even make jokes!) and "controversial" with too many enemies (guys who 
don't like women who stick to their opinions on hot topics?)


But the project is so disrupted I cannot even put up the resources page 
because I know that it will be gutted down to zilch by one editor 
especially if I do. (He's been wikihounding me and reverting me for over 
a year and multiple complaints have come to naught.)

The community has to face the fact that this is the only Wikiproject 
under attack.


Like I said, other projects don't permit it.

Can you imagine if it were permitted on the Palestine or Israel 
wikiprojects and they were going at each other? Or the Christian and 
LGBT?  Absurd...


At least Mr. Wales agrees... sigh...

Re: [Gendergap] Noiva do Cordeiro

2014-09-04 Thread Marie Earley
A more credible article about Noiva do Cordeiro, near Belo Vale, Minas Gerais, 
Brazil, has been done by The Telegraph 
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/brazil/11065364/Inside-the-Brazilian-all-woman-village-desperate-for-men.html

It's more of a cultural thing that the men work away through the week so the 
day to day running of the village (which translates as Bride of the Lamb) is 
done mainly by women. There is a bit of exaggerating of the whole "they just 
need some men" - thing though.

My conclusion is that the place is real,
and has some kind of interesting history relating to the church and women, but 
unsure
if the Mirror article about the present day demand for men willing to submit to
their rules is verifiable. It really needs a Portuguese speaker to decide that
as that’s the language the source material is in.

Is this for real?

And if so, should there be a Wikipedia entry about it? I started to
draft one but am a little worried because there seems to be only one article
about this mysterious town. Hoax, maybe.
