First, note per my last message on stalkers, obviously the other editors
on the issue in question were assumed to be or admittedly male.

Hmmm. Looking at the edit summaries of talk pages of a couple of editors
who write exclusively on the Israel-Palestine issue, as opposed to me
who just gets sucked into a few specific articles over and over, usually

Regarding your classes, you might want to talk to Diana Strassmann at
Rice University. She uses Wikipedia in a course related to poverty and
gender issues.

Dear Colleagues,
I'll begin teaching: Anthropology, Wikipedia, and Media at a college beginning

chose it because it covers the Wikipedia world in useful ways, was positively
reviewed by Mssr. Wales and Ms. Gardner,

The kind of women I know are mostly teachers, or doctors, or work in
