"Wiki wants Women".
*The international media is abuzz with the gender gap in Wikipedia
contributors around the world. Also, a survey by Wikimedia Foundation shows
that English Wiki has only 13% women editors. To level this skewed ratio,
"English Wiki".
I would have taken this article more seriously, if it hadn't called
"Wikipedia" simply "Wiki":
*
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki
*
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiWikiWeb
*
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia
Note that "wikip" is a useful shorthand for "Wikipedia" on IRC/IM/etc.
but not
simply "Wiki". This kind of mental sloppiness always makes me think that the
person who say that is an idiot.
