[Gendergap] WMF pilot course on harrassment

[Natacha Rault]

Hi, 
The WMF is giving a free pilot course on harrassement to several wikimedians 
from different projects (in English) see here 1 
. Notes on the course in French are available 
herehttps://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projet:Lutte_contre_le_harc%C3%A8lement/Formations_WMF
 

I am looking for cases of harassment that finished well according to all 
parties involved to make a pool of best practices for community members. 


If any of you has such a case in mind please write to me (please dont take 
current cases). 

Kind regards,

Re: [Gendergap] [Wikimedia-l] WikiGap 2019

[Natacha Rault]

Thanks for sharing this Mia!  Îm really glad to read that it can be an ongoing 
project and not just an equality token on March, 8. 

I have a question: do you have a budget for transportation for people who want 
to attend and babysitting facilities? 
Could it be possible for organizers to get a volunteering certificate from the 
sweedish embassy as a  kind of aknowledgement of the work done? 

Thank you for your commitment on these issues!

Kind regards,

Re: [Gendergap] article for first women's political party in Pakistan is about to be deleted

Thanks Jonathan, that’s exactly what happened, and I think in this case it was 
the word ”sodomy” that caused the problem. Kind regards, Natacha

Hi Natacha,

The explicit language filter may be quite widespread, it is one of the edit 
filters in English and a fairly obvious filter for any language that has 
encountered vandalism. Depending on how the filter has been set up it will of 
course apply to different words in each language. But if you are doing outreach 
and people may be writing in one of those areas where "rude words" are needed, 
you might want to warn them that until they have done ten edits and had an 
account for four days the Wikipedia computers will assume that if they use a 
rude word they are a vandal. Usually they are right, so this filter isn't going 
to be removed.

Regards

Jonathan

Re: [Gendergap] article for first women's political party in Pakistan is about to be deleted

[Natacha Rault]

Hi There, I happen to live in Geneva and coukd provide photos for the Womanity 
Foundation. I know somebody working there.

I am also interested in translating the article in French. Will do, shortly.

Thanks for the notice. We experiment article deletion quite often too on the 
French wki, but have bern able to discuss within the project les  sans pages 
and help people with such issues, although we also have been accused of voting 
together and therefore influencing results. We have developped - I think - a 
nice atmosphere on this project and we are not tackling women bios only. 

On the other hand, one of our group was at last able to translate "LGBT history 
in Switzerland" in Italian, but it was first not possible because of the use of 
"explicit language" (the reason given for not publishing the translation). This 
was an automatic response that Edeosenfed received when he pushed the publish 
button after finishing hus translation in Italian. We tried to add more 
infornation on lesbian women in the article, but adding info on trans women 
history (and trans men) was a challenge and still is : it was hard to find 
sources of the historical context. We still have to work on that.

[Gendergap] Women only events ?

[Natacha Rault]

Hi everyone,

I would like to starts a discussion on women only events. How are they 
perceived and do they generate antagonism? I have always organized mixed 
events, until the first of march 2017, where an Art+feminism editathon was 
hosted by an LGBT lesbian association in Geneva, and I announced it on the 
French Bistrot here (among other Art+Feminism events that were all inclusive)

I did not want to impose other rules than theirs on their surroundings,so I 
announced a woman only event for one of the 4 events organized. Some members of 
the community disagreed and reacted strongly (although I can’t say all were 
extremely respectful this is just normal bread when dealing with the gender 
gap) but one  was so stunning and persistant  (he was blocked in the end and 
now has a topic ban) that this generated the thought that we might need to 
reflect more on safe spaces and organize such events more systematically, in 
each conference and each Wikimania,  until this is no issue any more. I 
remember attending the women only picnic at Wikimania in Esino Lario and being 
confronted with a different attitude: there it only seemed normal. 

What do you think and what is your experience on this issue? I am interested to 
know all points of vue provided they are formulated with respect.

[Gendergap] Gender gap vs gender bias

[Natacha Rault]

 Hi everyone, 

I am running currently a project in Switzerland dedicated to the gender gap. 
More information here (in French) 
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projet:Suisse/Biographies_des_femmes_en_Suisse 
and here on the website of the University of Geneva:  
http://www.unige.ch/rectorat/egalite/evenement/actualites/wikipedia/

I had an interesting encounter on Twitter with an established Wikipedian who 
suggested that women bios and bios in general were not well received by the 
wikipedian community because of admissibility issues. 

This person also suggested that addressing gender gap could not be fulfilled by 
just having women write bios, because this is addressing only the gender bias. 
He said writing bios did not help women address more complicated and technical 
subjects. 

He wrote that limiting the gender gap to the gender bias is not enough. 

Does anyone have a clue on this subject and/or informations, discussion feeds 
and papers of academic research? 

I had the idea that gender gap had two aspects: contributor gap and subject 
gap. To me gender bias had more to do with the way sexist stereotypes 
introduces differences in the way an article is written: for e.g. women bios 
tend to be more focused on the marital life and less on the work achieved, less 
linked to other articles. Therefore the two concepts cannot so easily be 
separated and have a two way causality. 

So I would really appreciate an exchange on this subject (sorry if it has been 
addressed before), and of the ways we can address the problem in effect, and 
not just in theory (especially when running an editing workshop or 
edit-a-thon). Do we have somme sort of best practices somewhere? A group 
devoted to this?

Kind regards,
