invitation as well as Kansas State University by Alex Stinson! Also nodes
will be hosted at Stockton College, The College of New Jersey (with Marla
Jaksch) and West Virginia University (with Brian Jara). Please join us,

(Thanks Sarah S. for the reminder to post on this list!)
Best,

"Polish town to have monument honoring Wikipedia"
The lack of anatomical precision did confuse me a bit as to whether male
or female. Others pointed out narrow hips and broad shoulders indicated
male. But this is Catholic Poland. Not Dutch Amsterdam or Venice Italy.
So of course they aren't going to show the explicit sexual details. /
Perhaps the Wikipedia Powers that Be could write a nice letter
explaining how they should have at least one woman in there? That would
be really great!/
Please let me know. I know WikiWomen's Collab is rather Englishlanguagey
but in the past I have tried to expand it beyond just that, so:
1) If you post about an event on this mailing list, I'll post it to the
Facebook/Twitter for WikiWomen's Collab
2) You can also send me links to the events/news/whatever with translations
in YOUR language AND in English so I can then send out Facebook and Twitter
posts in both languages to expand reach.
We also want to post photos to Facebook, so be sure to post your event
pictures up on Commons and send them to me so I can post them. People love
photos, and they tag their friends and share them...
Thanks,
Sarah

Hi -
I need some help! I'm hoping a German participant on this list can
translate a Facebook post and a Tweet for me so I can promote a German
edit-a-thon in English and German. Please contact me off list if you can!
If you offer translation in other languages please let me know, I want to
make sure I make event and news posts multilingual whenever possible.
Thanks,

Hi everyone,
I've been feeling inspired (!!!) and have started re-maintaining the
WikiWomen's Collaborative Twitter and Facebook. Despite my excessive
bitterness, hahaha, I'm really missing the camaraderie and work that I was
doing to engage a more diverse audience in participating in the free
knowledge movement.
Feel free to e-mail me off list if there are events, blog posts, press
coverage, or "calls to action" you'd like me to post. I'll post in any
language as long as there is also an English translation. If you already
are a maintainer of either the page or Twitter, feel free to post.
On Facebook we now have over 1,000 likes, and on Twitter we have 1,189
followers. You can find the two accounts here:
https://twitter.com/wikiwomenhttps://www.facebook.com/WikiWomensCollaborative
Like and follow us!

On a personal note, ever since Adrianne and Cindamuse died and I earned my
"outsider within a group of outsiders" status in January I haven't had the
motivation to contribute to the two areas of work that I deeply care about
in this "world" of free knowledge - women's engagement and GLAM. I'm trying
to change that in myself, and not letting the men who tore me down get me
down (or the mistakes that I have made in the past).
For the past few months I've been contributing to WikiVoyage and Wikidata
and I changed my username (back to my old username). No one notices me..
it's quiet.
I'm even thinking about putting my feelers out for public speaking and
workshops again, but, I might be a bad apple no one wants to hear from
anymore :) As long as funding is available, I am very open minded to
opportunities. If you hear of anything, or know of anyone looking to hear
someone speak about lessons learned, the experiences had, evaluation
practices, grantwriting, how revolution can and continues to take place in
this community, or you just want a kick ass facilitator for your
edit-a-thon let me know...
<3
Thanks everyone, I appreciate it and the work you are all doing to change
the world.
Sarah

Hi everyone,
I've been tweeted at to help some people about "sex work" on Wikipedia. I
don't have the capacity to support them at this point in my life. The last
person I knew working in that realm on WP was Cindamuse
https://twitter.com/nottobeblamed/status/517695123769942016
And of course the first thing I do is fail to point them in the direction
of the right WikiProject they can find help.
Can someone please help? I sincerely appreciate it. Thank you.
-Sarah (aka Missvain)
