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 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

editors of both genders.

Yes it is good to provoke a discussion this way.
I myself hate this pictures, maybe this is overshadowing a neutral
point of view.

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

I am not going to defend the stereotypical figure of Wikipe-tan. However, the
rationale of using a female character in Welcome to Wikipedia can be seen in at
least two ways: a) the way you described, and b) that we're damned if we do,
and damned if we don't. If we had picked a male character in
I find it interesting that both comic images (Sara and WIkipe-tan)
perpetuate female stereotypes:
- Sara gets to be the person who doesn't know what she's doing. I think the
intentions behind this were probably good, but it seems like most ads have
the woman as the clueless one. For example, when
Agreed, especially because the woman in the comic does not start out as a

I think it's great that such a brochure exists, but it's nice to see actual
human beings that you can contact and talk to in help documentation. In the

I agree.

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
constant in media is Sue.
Sue is wonderful, but where are the other faces of Wikim/pedia? Where
are the other women, why are they hiding?
