I think one thing that could help is to reclaim the GGTF. The thing is to remain unflappable and ignore The Troll. On Jan 24, 2015 9:36 AM, "Sarah" slimvirgin@gmail.com wrote:

well, they did not revdel it. arbcom can drive the discussion off wiki, but cannot ban the Guardian for "bad journalism" certain account behaviors are being favored you should expect to see a lot more of those behaviors in the future
this will necessitate a lot of wiki-splaining
thank-you arbcom for firing up every up coming feminist editathon you may not care how how you are perceived, but the negative blowback will tarnish all of wikimedia

"take steps to identify and remove institutionalized sexism on Wikipedia."
One issue that has concerned me is that editors who care about these issues don't combine our weight. We have the GGTF, this mailing list, the Twitter and Facebook accounts, but we don't act with one voice when it matters. I'm not sure of the reasons for that, but I think it damages our efforts. What can we do to start pulling together more?
