These are mostly TL:DR and not tailored specifically to online
communities, but are mainly valuable for their overviews
DARVO
"DARVO stands for "Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender." The
perpetrator or offender may Deny the behavior, Attack the individual doing
the confronting, and Reverse the roles of Victim and Offender such that the
perpetrator assumes the victim role and turns the true victim -- or the
whistle blower -- into an alleged offender. This occurs, for instance, when
an actually guilty perpetrator assumes the role of "falsely accused" and
attacks the accuser's credibility or even blames the accuser of being the
perpetrator of a false accusation."
http://dynamic.uoregon.edu/jjf/defineDARVO.html
Institutional Betrayal
"The term "Institutional Betrayal" refers to wrongdoings perpetrated by an
institution upon individuals dependent on that institution, including
failure to prevent or respond supportively to wrongdoings by
individual"..."Victims, perpetrators, and witnesses may display betrayal
blindness in order to preserve relationships, institutions, and social
systems upon which they depend."
http://dynamic.uoregon.edu/jjf/institutionalbetrayal/index.html
*Tactics against sexual harassment: the role of backfire*"...if an action
is perceived as unjust and information about it is communicated to
receptive audiences, it has the capacity to cause outrage and consequently
backfire on the perpetrator. Perpetrators regularly use five types of
tactics to inhibit outrage: (1) cover-up of the action; (2) devaluation of
the target; (3) reinterpretation of the events; (4) use of official
channels to give the appearance of justice; and (5) intimidation and
bribery of targets, witnesses and others"
https://www.uow.edu.au/~bmartin/pubs/06jiws.html
"A button to report harassment"
This is ties in to the Citron speech Q&A on "precision in recall": or "a
rule that was very easy for people who are harassed to report that
harassment, but it also enabled people to use reporting harassment...to
harass other people."...and "we’re making a place where you can safely
report harassment, and somebody will turn around and well, now somebody is
going to in a very hidden place, report that I’m harassing them, and you
know, work against me..."

Subject: Writing Culture in Southern German Women*s Convents
*Writing Culture in Southern German Women's Convents*
'Writing Culture in Southern German Women's Convents' was the focus of a
project funded from September 2008 until May 2012 by the Deutsche
Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) as part of its action plan on 'Libraries and
Archives in Cooperation with Research'. This programmatic new approach made
possible the cataloguing, digitisation and academic study of medieval
manuscripts and early printed books as well as of pragmatic documents and
archival records from five selected southern German women's convents.
Jointly organised by the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich and the
Bayerisches Hauptstaatsarchiv, the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität in
Münster / Heinrich-Heine-Universität in Düsseldorf, the project studied the
medieval books of these Bavarian convents and their archival holdings
(until 1550) and now presents them embedded in their historical context.
The manuscripts, archival records and incunables created or formerly owned
by the Dominican sisters of Altenhohenau, the Bridgettines of Altomünster,
the Poor Clares (St. Jakob am Anger) and Franciscan Tertiaries
(Pütrichhaus) of Munich and the Benedictines of Neuburg an der Donau
allowed systematic insights into the convent libraries, economic management
and the particular roles of office holders. More broadly the project
offered new perspectives on the education, internal organisation and the
self-conception of these religious communities.
After the dissolution of these houses the historical records were divided
up and as a result, books and documents are today preserved in libraries as
well as in archives. It was therefore crucial to bring them back together
under an overall perspective. Through a synthesis of the source material,
the rich heritage of these often highly-educated women and their engagement
with literature can be assessed and presented in an unprecedented way,
within the wider context of these politically and economically influential
communities.
When the project expired, the project partner provided in-house effort for
the publication of the results. The documents have been recently made
accessible online as well as in a printed catalogue.
A thematic research archive hosted by the Bayerische Landesbibliothek
Online
https://www.bayerische-landesbibliothek-online.de/sueddeutsche-frauenkloest…
offers introductory texts and an overview of the mediaeval
holdings,structured by subject groups based on mediaeval ways of organising
libraries and knowledge, to allow comparisons, despite the different
quantity of source material from each convent. Links provide direct access
to the digitised manuscripts, early printed books, documents and archival
records. Manuscript descriptions are available online via
http://www.manuscripta-mediaevalia.de.
The printed catalogue contains introductory material and detailed
descriptions of the manuscripts from two of the convents as well as an
overview of the printed material:
Katalog der lateinischen Handschriften der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek
München. Die Handschriften aus den Klöstern Altenhohenau und Altomünster:
Clm 2901-2966 sowie Streubestände gleicher Provenienz, Anja Freckmann,
Juliane Trede and Elisabeth Wunderle, eds, Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz, 2016.
Melanie Hömberg's study of the economic practices of the female communities,
'Economic Book Keeping in Context', is available on the homepage through a
link. Almut Breitenbach's publications are listed in the bibliography.

The grant request is now drafted above and the prizes will be on a
first-past-the-post open through until the start of 2017. We need a
couple of WM-LGBT+ volunteers with some experience with Featured
Pictures (on Commons or Wikipedia) to help with the process and flesh
out details. Please add your name to the meta page, or comment on the
associated talk page. If you haven't been active with WM-LGBT+ in the
past, this would be a good time to join in with the user group. :-)
I doubt it will be much volunteer time, as we only have to agree that
a nominated photograph has a clear LGBT+ related theme, not make any
assessment about whether it should be a Featured Picture.
The request is draft, so any feedback or improvements to the text are welcome.
Cheers,
Fae

It looks like her bio is being challenged just as the book she edited is
starting to get reliable source attention. In case anyone wants to work
on it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Barrett
The book is "Female Erasure: What You Need To Know About Gender
Politics’, War On Woman, the Female Sex, and Human Rights"
Waldra became the wife of Lothar II in AD 862, but was pursued by the
Pope to have them separated, accused of having too much power over the
King and was thought to be a witch.
See the nicely historical article which challenges us to create a
Wikipedia article for her at <
http://www.historymatters.group.shef.ac.uk/erased-history-queen-waldrada
>
There is a page in German at < https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldrada
>, however the English Wikipedia only has a redirect to Lothar.
Anyone game for creating the biography and posting a link to it at the
historymatters group?

I am pleased to announce the launch of the third Inspire Campaign for
IdeaLab, focused on addressing harassment of Wikimedia project contributors:
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Inspire>
Harassment diminishes the experience of contributing and participation for
a substantial number of individuals, even those who simply witness it.
Current methods of dealing with harassment are considered unacceptable as
they often do not lead to productive outcomes.[1]
During the month-long campaign, you are invited to submit & review ideas on
how to better address harassment. Consider joining a team to help make an
idea happen. Ideas can be submitted in any language, and focus on
research, building tools or software, outreach efforts, or something
completely new. Grants are available from the Wikimedia Foundation to fund
projects that are eligible for financial support.[2] Ideas focused on
changes to community policies and guidelines are also welcome. Google
Hangout sessions are also scheduled in June if you’d like to discuss your
idea or have questions about WMF grants.[3]
Questions about the campaign can be directed at the Inspire talk page.[4]
An FAQ page about the campaign is also available.[5]
If you want to help make your projects safer for everyone to participate
in, I encourage you to participate in this Inspire Campaign. I believe we
can work together to address this difficult and important issue.
With thanks,
Chris "Jethro" Schilling

Hi everyone,
We’ve had two Inspire Campaigns so far -- on the gender gap and on content
curation & review -- to encourage ideas and grant proposals on challenging
issues affecting the Wikimedia projects you work on. The third Inspire
Campaign, starting on May 31st, will run for one month and focus on
addressing harassment that occurs on Wikimedia projects:
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Inspire>
The 2015 Harassment Survey[1] has shown evidence that harassment is
pervasive; 38% of participants reported experiencing it, and 51% reported
witnessing harassment. These include behaviors such as name calling,
threats of violence, discrimination, stalking, and impersonation, among
others. Furthermore, available methods and systems to deal with harassment
are considered to be ineffective. These behaviors are clearly harmful, and
in addition, many individuals who experience or witness harassment
participate less in Wikimedia projects or stop contributing entirely.
Starting May 31st, everyone is invited to submit and work together in
developing ideas to prevent and handle cases of harassment. Ideas can
include research, software, events, training programs, outreach efforts,
etc. If you need funding, ideas can easily be submitted as a proposal for
a WMF grant. Ideas can also encourage discussions to consider changes in
policies, guidelines, or best practices on your local Wikimedia project(s).
An FAQ page about this campaign and Inspire Campaigns generally is
available.[2] An announcement e-mail will be sent out on the 31st. For
folks who are interested in helping translate so we can reach a wide
audience, I welcome your help on the FAQ page[2] and main landing page.[3]
If you have an idea or want to help develop ideas to address harassment, I
encourage you to join me so that we can work together in addressing this
important and difficult issue.
With thanks,
Chris "Jethro" Schilling

Haven't had time to listen to the whole thing yet, but this panel looks
promising. Sampling a few sound bites, the speaker at 19:00 is Dr. Michelle
Ferrier: "The terrorism that these groups inflict on you is very deep and
very powerful and very real, and so literally after three years
I...changing my roles, not working nights, trying to find ways to solve
this, and the problem was I came to almost every single professional
organization and asked, "where are your conference sessions talking about
this, where are your programs to be able to protect and support
journalists? You're talking about diversity in the media? You're bringing
us in, and we're going out the back door just as quickly as we're coming in
the front, because we're scared to death, and you have done nothing to
protect us."
