[Gendergap] Ask a WIkiWoman happening now
Hi everyone, Just a reminder that #askawikiwoman is taking place on Twitter right now. I know many of us are wiki-know-it-all's, but, this is an experimental event that we're trying out as part of my fellowship :) It'd be great to have you ask Dr. Adrianne Wadewitz (User:Wadewitz) anything and everything about Wikipedia! Simply use the hashtag #askawikiwoman on Twitter and Adrianne will answer your question via the @WikiWomen Twitter. https://twitter.com/WikiWomen Adrianne will be online from 10-5 answering questions about everything ranging from: * Editing and mark up questions * The gender gap * Using Wikipedia in her classroom * How she got into editing * What it's like being a woman editing Wikipedia * Whatever else wiki related! Please forward to any groups or individuals you think might want to participate. Thanks everyone. Sarah -- *Sarah Stierch* */Wikimedia Foundation Community Fellow/* Mind the gap!

Re: [Gendergap] Do the April Fool's Day jokes on English Wikipedia's front page deter women editors?
It's two very different issues to argue about a) whether dirty word DYKs drive off women (I'm on record on Jimbo's talk as thinking that's silly), and b) whether dirty word DYKs are puerile and not as good a type of joke as we should be doing, if we want to do jokes (which appears to be basically Jimbo's stance, and which I agree with). Yes, toilet and sex humor is juvenile, but I don't think it's a female-repelling type of juvenilia. And whether it is or not, we can probably do better when it comes to April Fool's, anyway. -Fluff On Thu, Jan 17, 2013 at 1:24 PM, Andreas Kolbe jayen...@gmail.com wrote: On Thu, Jan 17, 2013 at 5:06 AM, Carol Moore DC carolmoor...@verizon.netwrote: It took forever to get the actual article [[Circle jerk]] into Wikipedia - a female did it.
