Re: [Gendergap] New WikiProject Feminism Articles from WSG students

This is an awesome project :) I would be really interested in reading your feedback on the experiment, both from you and your students. I'm especially interested in knowing how you dealt with NPOV. I think it is a nice idea to make them start on their sandbox pages, because it allows them to be fa

What is the relationship with gender-gap ? Are female children more unlikely to contribute to Wikimedia projects if they saw some porn on Wikipedia or Commons ? Caroline 2012/5/30 Andreas Kolbe > From Larry Sanger's blog: > > ---o0o--- > > I want to start a conversation. [...Larry says, in his

Can we please focus on the idea and facts instead of (in)appropriate tones ? I think that trying a professional "Wiki Loves Women" before even trying to do it as a crownfounded, volunteer project is, as least, strange. It makes me sad, as a volunteer photographer, to be "forgotten" or taken for no

[Gendergap] Bias regarding male and female nudity in art

I looked at all the pictures I took at the museum of Fine Arts of Angers (France), since I still have all of them on my hard drive while the ones I took at Rennes are both on my hard drive and on Commons servers. I actually realized, at least concerning Angers, that they were an almost equal displa

Re: [Gendergap] Article "Cumshot" in English and German Wikipedia

The problem is, we live in a biased world where you can find much, much more female nudity in fine art musem than male nudity. I'm currently post-treating and uploading pictures from the Museum of Fine Arts of Rennes (France) and the only naked male body is a sculpture of a boy/young teenager playi

Re: [Gendergap] World Naked Gardening Day

The image was not of someone gardening naked. It was a sexy picture of a very attractive young woman. Just imagine the same picture with the woman fully clothed and ask yourself if this picture would illustrate a general article about gardening. If I had to take a picture to illustrate naked garden
