[Wiki-research-l] Please provide feedback on suggested improvements to the Code of Conduct

[Matthew Flaschen]

Thanks to everyone who’s helped work on the Code of Conduct so far.

People have brought up issues they feel were missed when working on 
"Unacceptable behavior" ( 
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct/Draft#Unacceptable_behavior 
) and "Report a problem" ( 
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct/Draft#Report_a_problem ). 
 Consultants have also suggested changes in these same sections.


These are important sections, so please take a look at the proposed 
changes ( 
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Code_of_Conduct/Draft#Suggested_changes). 
 I apologize that this feedback arrived later than planned, but I think 
this will create a better document.


If you prefer to give your opinion privately, feedback via e-mail is 
welcome at conduct-discuss...@wikimedia.org.


Thanks,

Matt Flaschen

[Wiki-research-l] citing female academics

[Heather Ford]

There's an interesting discussion going on right now on the Association of
Internet Researchers mailing list about the citing of women (and women of
colour) in academia that I thought might be interesting. The comments are
also really (as Gabriella Coleman noted) 'lively' so they're worth a read
too. I'd be curious to learn more about how we as a Wikipedia research
community fare here too...

Best,
Heather.

The job is effectively done by Kiwix now.
http://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia/
For instance:
wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2015-05.zim17-May-2015 10:27   15G

There are several tools to extract the HTML from a ZIM file:
