<div>This is another one of those perspectives articles. :) <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp/FAQ/Perspectives/Iran">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp/FAQ/Perspectives/Iran</a> is where the original text of this article can be found. We could use some assistance with organising the perspectives section as the FAQ page ( <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp/FAQ">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp/FAQ</a> ) has become a bit crowd. Any help doing that would be really, really appreciated. :) It is getting a bit long. Any additional help improving these perspectives would also be appreciated. There doesn't appear to be any research like this done by the Foundation or academics studying Wikipedia. Thus, completely blank slate. It is fantastic to now have it, as it means we can better address needs on a global and local level. <a href="http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:WikiWomenCamp_-_women_perspective_by_country">http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:WikiWomenCamp_-_women_perspective_by_country</a> has the list of countries.</div>
