I thought it was going up a year from now, but it's this October, so a bit late. But hopefully they have or ''will have'' a plaque mentioning women editors. Actually, it's probably best that Polish Wikipedia women editors approach whom so ever.

But for the heck of it, I found the Polish article on the statue and asked the question on the talk page, using my best Google Translate polish. :-)

I see there is a Polish Gender gap project but don't have energy right now to see what their input was,

Better late than never noticed a Polish Gender studies group so left message there too.

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!
