Re: [Gendergap] In case you missed the @WeAreWikipedia Twitter
Hi, I agree with Sarah. Both the community, chapters and the @WeAreWikipedia account needs more diversity. I'm a white, West European, middle aged(?) male, working at a chapter (Wikimedia Sweden) and I'm running @WeAreWikipedia for the second time now. As I got asked to apply last weekend I doubt there is a huge crowd waiting to curate, so I recommend you to sign up, http://wearewikipedia.wordpress.com/take-part/. Also recommending you to read the Storify Roberta Wedge put together, both the one about her week as curator ( https://storify.com/robertawedge/my-week-on-wearewikipedia) and the one with our (Wikimedia Sweden) blog with X-mas greetings and stupid ads ( https://storify.com/robertawedge/a-few-thoughts-on-gendergap-and-wikiwomen-etc ). (Don't be fooled by my face next to her tweets, it's a Storify embedding twitter issue. Next week someone else (you?) will be there.)

[Gendergap] In case you missed the @WeAreWikipedia Twitter
...Roberta from the UK made a storify of some selected moments, including my tenure as the account writer.. https://storify.com/robertawedge/a-few-thoughts-on-gendergap-and-wikiwomen-etc She makes great points about the lack of diversity often seen at chapters. It seems to be the same people who run the WeAreWikipedia account, so they need some fresh people, please consider participating yourself. It was REALLY great experience for me..

Re: [Gendergap] Iraqi human rights lawyer Samira Salih al-Nuaimi tortured and executed because Facebook; where is her Wikipedia article?
it's the kind of other stuff exist argument that goes on all the time during deletion discussion, (that may not be appropriate here) a better example might be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Weinstein "If the event is significant and the individual's role within it is substantial and well-documented—as in the case of John Hinckley, Jr., who shot President Ronald Reagan in 1981—a separate biography may be appropriate. The significance of an event or individual is indicated by how persistent the coverage is in reliable sources."
