Re: [Gendergap] Nudity vs Islam in Western Europe
Dear Fred, We have 'n' number of mailing lists and forums to discuss politics and religion. I am subscribing to many such mailing lists, and I take part in active discussion in them. But now that we are here in gender gap mailing list to discuss about women participation in Wikimedia projects, let us not entertain off topic discussion. Let's discuss just enough politics and religion that may concern gender gap issues on Wikimedia projects - not more. Thank you.

The project aims to introduce more women to Malayalam Wikipedia, create new articles related to women, expand the existing stubs and translate English articles to Malayalam. Launched in tune with Wikipedia's Wiki Women's History Month projects, Wikipedians worldwide are organizing similar events. Though Malayalam Wikipedia is one of the most active languages Wikipedia, the number of women editors are below a dozen. Of these, only one or two are active editors. Netha Hussain, Kozhikode-based medical student, who is the torchbearer of project in Malayalam, agreed that only a few women are active in Malayalam Wikipedia. The project aims to introduce more women to Wikipedia. A list of topics, which needs to be expanded, edited etc, has been prepared. Biography of prominent women and translation of biographies are all part of the event, Netha said. Usha Titus, M T Padma, K K Lathika, J Arundhati, Malethu Sarala Devi, Rosamma Chacko, Jameela Prakasham are some of the prominent women included in list of personalities to be included in Wikipedia as part of the drive, which will conclude on March 31. Articles of a number of women, including Tessy Thomas, Mercy Ravi, Ajitha, Parvathy Omanakuttan etc, will be expanded. Biographies of award-winning women, people's representatives, etc will be translated from English to Malayalam. Surprisingly, except Netha and Ditty Mathew from Kochi, all others who have joined the edit-a-thon so far are men. -- *Sarah Stierch* *Museumist and open culture advocate* Visit sarahstierch.com http://sarahstierch.com ___ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap -- Netha Hussain Student of Medicine and Surgery Govt.

Congratulations, Emily! http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/netha-hussain/countering-the-systemic-bias-on-wikipedia--an-interview-with-emily-temple-wood_b_5064947.html?just_reloaded=1 - Netha Countering the Systemic Bias on Wikipedia : An Interview With Emily Temple-Wood Posted: 01/04/2014 14:28http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/netha-hussain/countering-the-systemic-bias-on-wikipedia--an-interview-with-emily-temple-wood_b_5064947.html?view=printcomm_ref=false Follow Wikipedia http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/news/wikipedia/, United Stateshttp://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/news/united-states/ , Editing http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/news/editing/, Gender Gapshttp://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/news/gender-gaps/ , Interview http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/news/interview/, Systemic Biashttp://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/news/systemic-bias/ , Woman http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/news/woman/, UK Tech Newshttp://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/uk-tech *GET UK TECH NEWSLETTERS:* SUBSCRIBE I love to collect information, and I love that I get to share that information with the world, says Emily Temple-Wood, a veteran editor on English Wikipedia. Emily, who likes reading encyclopedias from cover-to-cover, finds writing on Wikipedia a transition from being a consumer to a creator of knowledge. Her first attempt at writing on Wikipedia was in 2005, when she was 10 years old. She wrote a page about her little sister saying that she was a stupid butthead, which got removed from Wikipedia instantly. As she grew older, she knew that she could do more productive things on Wikipedia. In 2007, when Emily Temple-Wood created an account on Wikipedia, she was just 12 years old. She started off by categorizing and cleaning up existing wikipedia articles. Eventually, she found it and useful to contribute knowledge to Wikipedia. Her first interest was endangered languages. She created several articles related to endangered languages and became dedicated to Wikipedia. Emily, now 19, has written over 200 articles on Wikipedia. Lately, she has been writing about rare genetic diseases, Islamic history and mythology. Her pet project is Wikiproject: Women scientistshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_scientists, an initiative to create and expand articles about women scientists. WikiProject Women Scientists is growing into a nice space for contributing to this less-covered area and we are gaining some active participants, so that is great! I'm so glad to be a part of something that is making a real difference on Wikipedia, she says. She is also an administrator on Wikipedia, a trusted editor who has been granted the technical ability to perform special actions on English Wikipedia.

She aspires to go to graduate school and get an MD/ PhD in medicine to fulfil her dream of becoming research physician. She has basic knowledge of Arabic, Korean and French and wants to be a fluent speaker of these three languages someday. She is undergoing training as an emergency medical technician along with her undergraduate studies. Because of the many real-life commitments, Emily is not being able to spend as much time for writing articles as she wants. First of all, I schedule time to edit, either with workshops or with friends. Editing with friends makes it a lot easier to make the time for it. I also edit as I read. Like many of us, I use Wikipedia every day to look up facts and whenever I see something that needs to be fixed, I do it. Treating my editing as a social endeavor has been really helpful and definitely motivates me to contribute more, and I think that's my message to fellow women. Have fun together while editing - enjoy food and drink and socialize! Some people take Wikipedia too seriously and make it an anti-social space a lot of the time, so you can counter that by enjoying wiki-socialization in real life and being serious online., says Emily when asked about how she manages her time to be able to do a variety of real-life and online volunteering. She is also a Individual Engagement Granteehttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG of the Wikimedia Foundation http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home, the not-for-profit organization that hosts Wikipedia. In her role as a grantee, she is aiming to create a new model for bringing women into the Wikimedia movement and creating more content to fill the coverage gap with topics related to women, especially biographies of women. She is trying to change the gender situation

Re: [Gendergap] [Research] The encyclopedia must fail! - Notes on queering Wikipedia
Dear all, This follow up mail is in response to a couple of queries I received offlist. I thought I would share this on-list to avoid possible misunderstandings. First off, this article is not my perspective. I shared this article because I thought that this might be of interest to many members of this list. Second, the article seems to have a few factual inaccuracies: 1. Quoting from the article : *By January 2012, having become a regular contributor, I decided to create an article on Bama. Within a few minutes of creating the article, it was nominated for deletion (Wikipedia). In the next two days, I argued my way out of my first Wikipedia deletion and the article survived. While having repeatedly heard about the unevenness of the Wikipedia’s knowledge geographies and the presence of fervent deletionism, that someone would decide Bama, a pioneer of marginalized women voices and a noted author with multiple web links, mentions and more, not noteworthy by Wikiverse standards within minutes of its creation, baffled me*. The edit history of this article gives me a different picture altogether. It looks like the deletion tag was placed not because of lack of notability, but because the BLP was unsourced. The author mentions that they argued for two days to make it survive, but I do not see any evidence of a discussion on the talk page of the article. It occurs as if the author removed the deletion tag minutes after it was placed, by adding one citation. Ref : https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bama_%28writer%29diff=470061279oldid=470061005 Systemic bias against articles about women from non-English speaking countries does exist on English Wikipedia, but I guess this example is insufficient to prove this point. 2. Quote : For two self-identified female editors including the author, it seemed logical to include news reports of the potency tests conducted on Asaram since details of the victim’s hymen examination existed already. However, as one male-identified editor, Mr K. argued... The username of the author, as seen on the archive is User: Dr.K and not Mr.K. I do not find an instance on this user's userpage where they self identified as male. I do not find any evidence where the two editors in question self identified as female, either (Correct me if I am wrong here). The research may have tried to establish that the masculine voice of the editor tried to silence a feminine perspective, but this example, like the previous one, is not sufficient to prove this point. Ref : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Asaram_Bapu/Archive_4 I placed a comment on the original article 9 days ago pointing these out, but it looks as if it is still awaiting moderation :-( That said, the article gave me many interesting perspectives. + 1 to Valerie for the quote : I found it this quote as the best among all. I also greatly appreciate the hard work that went into the creation of this research paper. Regards Netha On Tue, Jul 15, 2014 at 6:07 AM, A.

As far as the example for BLP related interference is concerned, there is so much against Asaram - the argument has no value. It is about facts and not inferences. Also, there are so many criminal cases in court against Asaram - these must all be documented :-) Even the ones mentioned in http://www.frontline.in/cover-story/asarams-empire/article5137420.ece are not covered in the controversies section.
