Hi Ellie all,
Maybe my previous mail was to generalising, what I tried to say is that a
lot of people feel it the way I described, but certainly not everyone. So,
it is perfectly fine if you do not need it, but at the same time this
prevents most contributors learning to edit Wikipedia to stay
Romaine Wiki says about women, participating as editors on Wikipedia:
They expect a social environment, with easy interaction, where they are
stimulated and can form groups to be able not to feel alone on the wiki and
to work together, where they can get constructive feedback, where they can
What it would take to close the gender gap?
That WMF would realize itself that Wikipedia misses social software to give
female contributors a comfortable feeling because of the social environment.
Giving many workshops for new female contributors, we notice that they
experience Wikipedia as a
Hi,
Thank you all for your feedback. I've incorporated a number of them and
updated the report. It's now publicly available to share with folks who are
interested.
@Ellie, yes, the 75% retirement part was a typo on my part. Thanks for
pointing it out!

Thanks Jason. I enjoyed reading this, though the conclusions remind me of
_Seeing Like a State_. Not all edits, editors, and subcommunities are
equal. Trying to shift about contributors en masse in a way that is
convenient for large organizations (or for those of us who like crunching

Super interesting, thanks for sharing Jason.
Can Wikipedia increase the number of new female editors four-fold and
increase new editor retention four-fold every month for three years?

Hi,
Since participating in the Inspire campaign, I got interested in the
question of exactly how many women would be needed on Wikipedia to close
the gender gap. I ran some simulations and came up with some fairly
radical numbers. For example, according to my calculations, there are so

I like the idea of experimenting with new knowledgespaces, with new
workflows to support them. With enough investment in design, I think this
could be done on a large scale right in the project namespace of English

Hello,
This is very interesting. Thank you for sharing. Please let us know if and when
it can be shared more freely. I know a few people who'd want to read about
this. I know I was surprised to read that we would be better off trying to
recruit new editors than to focus on retention (very
I agree that we could build on the sandbox model; add an extra filter to
RC, design a different visual background for those pages, and otherwise
keep this creative experimentation within existing wikis. But we can
also test it out on on a different experimental site, if we don't have that
