Speaking of topics that need expansion, there are still HUGE gaps in
Wikipedia's coverage of art outside of the United States. For
example, there are no articles for "Mexican art", "Polish art",
"Swiss art", etc. (not even stubs!) and don't even bother looking
for African, South American, or Asian countries.<br>

think I'm the only woman who ever has, even though it was two
documents. I don't even think there is much of anything related to
women's history on Wikisource...<br>
<br>
We were discussing in #wikimedia-gendergap a few days ago about
the need for more featured images of women and related subjects on
Commons. I kept rolling my eyes everytime I saw the ATV that was a
featured image the other day. <br>
<br>
I'm actually developing a wikipage that will showcase a collection
of topics that need expansion, watching, clean up, etc, and/or
photos for English Wikipedia, which I naturally assume will be the
same for other languages. Once it's a little fleshed out we can
see if it's useful in any way. I think it's interesting just to
see what we're lacking on...on top of the 1009232 other things I'm
doing...<br>

Example: the deletion in 2009 of poet Marcella Boccia's
quotes from English wikipedia after her article had been
deleted from En wikipedia.<br>
<br>
Actually, I just checked and it's not in the Italian
wikipedia version either. Despite <a

notability in Italian I noted at time of deletion
discussion.<br>
<br>
So let's not forget Wikiquote!!<br>
