Re: [Gendergap] Looking for success stories of article improvement

I remember the article [[Sun tanning]] for a long time was mostly bikini pictures, one topless. There are several threads on the talk page about it. I think the first one is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sun_tanning/Archive_1#Image_discussions The article [[Ochre]] had a topless photo for a

[Gendergap] Looking for success stories of article improvement

Hi folks, I'm wondering if anyone here has examples of articles that contain potentially-objectionable imagery being significantly improved following normal discussion among editors? I'm looking for examples of good editorial judgment being exercised in the normal article improvement processes --

Re: [Gendergap] This list

All I can say is that lately, this list has been going the same way as Foundation-l in my mind: it's becoming a place where there's no way in hell I'm posting, because people are going to scream at me, abuse me, and attack my every word. There are a couple people here who seem to really, really not

I'm rather reluctant to speak out for the same reason. This list *needs*moderation, because it combines sex and politics, a volatile mixture. From, Emily On Mon, Oct 3, 2011 at 5:14 PM, ChaoticFluffy wrote: > All I can say is that lately, this list has been going the same way as > Foundation-l

Re: [Gendergap] This list

Ideal moderation, for me (and perhaps this isn't even possible; I'm not sure how the backends of these mailing lists work) would be directed at users, not individual emails. I wouldn't expect a moderator to approve every post, or to edit posts, or anything like that. But I would expect them to enfo

So that everyone is on the same frequency; what exactly is meant by "moderation" when it comes to a discussion/conversation/debate? And what, exactly, is a "moderator" expected to do" Marc Riddell on 10/3/11 6:56 PM, Nathan at nawr...@gmail.com wrote: > I agree that several posts recently shoul

Re: [Gendergap] This list

I agree that several posts recently should have resulted in some sort of moderation. I'm not sure [[WP:CIVIL]] is the answer... That's an English Wikipedia policy, and applying en.wp policies to non-en.wp venues generally gets a strong reaction from non en.wp'ers :-P __

Hi folks, This past weekend, two people wrote me off-list to say they're planning to unsubscribe because they don't like the fightiness we've seen over the past week here. And a number of people have commented off-list and on, about how this list is normally more constructive than foundation-l. I
