[Gendergap] Battles & battalions

Dear colleagues, Examples like these remind us how important a sense of humor is for successfully remaining and being productive in the grand work of Wikipedia. By the time I got through the series of comments LauraHale asks us to consider, I was again reminded of why I like Wikipedians and

Re: [Gendergap] WikiWomen's Luncheon at Wikimania

Dear colleagues, I hope someone with survey design experience will be at this event and collect data on how many mothers manage to attend this event. We need to know whether women have adult or young children, and whether they are single parents, their ethnicity, and professional training. T

[Gendergap] Clarification of topics

Dear esteemed colleagues, I'm enjoying the gendergap list, but I'm getting confused about what each message is referring to. It might be good to state your topic instead of using, 'he', 'she', and 'they.' With a few relatively concurrent topics under discussion, which is fine, I want to make

Dear Wikipedia gender topic colleagues, I've read the strings and visited Ms. Sarkeesian's Wikipedia and self-published website, Feminist Frequency, as well as Kickstarter, and Forbes write up about the Wikipedia Sarkeesian article debacle ("W-SAD"). I weigh in on Ms. Sarkeesian's behalf ab

[Gendergap] Public voice of gendergap

Dear colleagues, There is one reason, and one reason alone, that I have not gotten into the fray about appropriateness of images and some text in Wikipedia. The reason is the discussion ends up on the internet and any search for my name will turn up all the details of everyone's comments. Th

[Gendergap] On SF signups for nascent Wikipedia women

On the Women's History Month event in SF and the Bay Area There's a mistaken assumption that new contributors-to-be know how to sign themselves up for this event. Not true. I'm adding those who plan to attend, and they are not yet 'users.' Seems fine, but complete newcomers, no matter how p

[Gendergap] On Notable Women in Wikipedia

Wikipedia colleagues, I want to work within the accepted range of who rises to the level of notable women. The historical problem of women in the news less, and quoted and cited less, is still an issue. I want to mention an important figure, who may otherwise stay out of the news. Please se

[Gendergap] On Women's History Month

I would make a go of this in the San Francisco Bay Area if we could get some traction going. I'll check in with a couple groups I know of, and see where they stand. Do we have an outreach tool kit ready that can be utilized, and if not, seems like an idea too? KS Rolph

[Gendergap] Mostly about fem-edits dilemma

Dear Colleagues, About reduced figures on female contributors: I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again: females are busy being mothers and caregivers. Demographic factors may vary, but in-the-trenches scholarly research needs to be undertaken if an explanation to low contribution
