  Especially when the images are scraped off the CC-BY and CC-BY-SA Flickr
  streams.
 
 That was something I noticed the other day. An anon replaced the
 infobox image on Veganism with a close-up shot of a woman's genitals
 and a vibrator. I looked to see who had uploaded it and it said Flickr
 upload bot. So is there a bot that uploads all cc images from Flickr
 indiscriminately?


Apparently a bot does the work, but a human has to ask for them.

[Gendergap] Monitoring impact on female participation

2011-10-01 Thread Chris Keating
So how can we measure what impact we're having on getting women to
participate?

Over the next few months Wikimedia UK's very going to be adopting a rather
more formal set of reporting procedures. I just wondered if people on this
list had any thoughts about how we could build in some gender impact
assessment into this reporting.

It should be fairly easy for the Board to ask for statistics on how many of
the people attending events are men and how many are women. Ideally we would
also have statistics on how many people attending events *who then go on to
edit/join/otherwise take part* available by gender. It should be even easier
to monitor the diversity of our staff (currently we have 2, both are male)
and Wikimedians in Residence (also currently 2, both male) and indeed the
board (err 7 men) - hopefully these statistics will be a bit better in a
year's time.

Does anyone have any more thoughts on how we should approach this?

Regards,

Chris

PS. Also, you might be interested to know that we've identified a £10k
budget for broadening impact - i.e. additional funding for projects which
are aimed at women, Scotland, Wales, ethnic or linguistic minorities - I
think this is a good thing but we do need to make sure the remaining £500k
isn't spent only on white Englishmen ;-)

Re: [Gendergap] More Dangerous to be a Woman Than a Soldier

2011-10-04 Thread Chris Keating
On the whole I think our military history articles aren't great at dealing
with sexual violence, on a number of dimensions.

For instance, there was a large amount of well-documented rape and sexual
mutiliation of Vietnamese women by U.S. forces in Vietnam, but the Vietnam
War article doesn't cover this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnam_War#Women_in_Vietnam

You will be relieved to know that is has more paragraphs devoted to the
American nurses who served in Vietnam than to anything about Vietnamese
women. Apparently this is because, on the American side at least, many men
reported that having women in the field with them boosted their
morale. Although
this was not the women’s purpose, it was one positive result of the their
service.

I'm sure you'll agree that a bit of morale-boosting is far more worthy of
comment than other services provided by nurses, e.g. medical care.

Sexual violence by Americans in Vietnam is also missing from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_rape - though of course that article does
adequately cover http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comfort_women - evidently rape
is better-covered when it is Asians doing the raping rather than being
raped. One wonders why.

[Gendergap] Surplus women and World War I

2012-06-20 Thread Chris Keating
Dear all,

Just wanted to let you know about some interesting contributions to the
Wikimedia article gender balance from a slightly unexpected source.

On Saturday, Wikimedia UK had a World War I-themed Editathon[1], where we
essentially put a lot of Wikimedians and a group of academics in a room and
asked them to help improve coverage of World War I.

The gender balance was markedly better amongst the academics we'd invited
(4 men, 3 women) than among the Wikimedians (20 men, no women at all) -
which prompted quite a lot of debate about gender balance among Wikimedia
volunteers (not very good) and also about the gender balance of Wikipedia's
coverage of  the topic (also, not very good!). It might also be that we'd
taken a lot of steps to promote the event amongst the English Wikipedia's
large and active military history community (which probably has worse than
average gender balance, at a guess).

I'm pleased to say that one of the outcomes from the event is an article,
currently in sandbox but well worthy of a DYK nom when in due course, on
the topic of Surplus women - a demographic imbalance that existed (or was
perceived) in Western Europe in the industrial era, accentuated by the mass
slaughter of World War I, and hitherto completely absent from Wikipedia.
You can have a look at it here :-)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ErrantX/Sandbox/Surplus_women

Many thanks,

Chris

[Gendergap] Diversity training for functionaries

2014-12-12 Thread Chris Keating
Don't know if this has been floated before - apologies if so - but:

Part of the problem we have is the sheer depth of ignorance among otherwise
well-intentioned community members.

This depth of ignorance is naturally shared by the people who play
leadership roles in the community. So we end up with stewards, arbitrators
and bureaucrats who potentially end up reinforcing the gender gap problem
because they just have no clue how the structure they maintain can
sometimes be a tool to exclude people.

How about offering some form of diversity training to functionaries to help
broaden perspectives and raise understanding? Obviously, from the point of
view of supporting them to do their difficult and fairly thankless roles
better, rather than beating them with diversity sticks.

It could happen (indeed, WMF could make it happen with some volunteer
input); could it help?

 I do agree that there were some comments that are off topic but thats true

 In the end, to me, if the arbs decide not to join this list because they
 fear discussion, then we probably dont need them anyway and if they are

 It might make sense to pilot at the admin level before focusing on

[Gendergap] Wikimedia Conference (was - Diversity training for functionaries)

2014-12-29 Thread Chris Keating
Hi Anne, Kerry and Christina - and everyone else,

So the Wikimedia Conference programme committee appears keen to do
something useful in terms of creating space for gender - gap work. So I
wondered if you had any further thoughts about what *might* work at the
Wikimedia Conference.

As Anne points out it is an audience of people from Wikimedia movement
organisations - board members, executive directors (where they exist), and
a smaller number of other staff. Compared to other Wikimedia events there
is probably a greater language and geographical diversity. There is also a
reasonable degree of awareness of the issue - better than one would find if
you put english Wikipedia administrators in a room.

The main focus for the conference is going to be on helping Wikimedia
organisations grow, learn and improve - we are looking to give people
practical outcomes, and are avoiding theoretical discussion as far as
possible.

Thoughts on what we can put in the programme on this issue are very welcome
:) (I'll pass everything on to the programme committee, though I suspect
I'm not the only member of it subscribed to this list).

Thanks and happy new year!

 While it might be suitable as a pilot at the Wikimedia Conference (I
 promise not to harp on the name here), it's a by-invitation conference
 focused on chapter/affiliate executives, many of whom have very limited
 on-wiki presence.  I'm not persuaded that they're the target audience.



 In fact, I'd suggest this would probably be best suited to a full-day
 session targeted at active Wikimedia project administrators and those with
 higher level permissions (think: oversighters, who frequently deal with
 requests from women who feel harassed because of gender; checkusers
 tracking down sockpuppets of harassers, and stewards, who can act in either
 role on projects that don't have their own CU/OS).  There is not
 much overlap between these active on-wiki leaders and the leaders of
 chapters/affiliates.  Strikes me that this would be more ideal for
 Wikimania, perhaps as a pre-WM session if that can be arranged.

[Gendergap] Good sources for criticism of sexism in traditional media

2017-03-28 Thread Chris Keating
Hi all,

Just wondered if anyone here knew any good sources about the prevalence /
impact of sexism in traditional media?

I'm particularly thinking of adding to this article, where all I can find
on a quick Google is things on HuffPost and Jezebel which aren't
particularly great to use on-wiki, so I'm wondering if there is more out
there.

Thanks in advance!

Chris
