hi @all,
I have two questions, A. @list admin* B. in general
A.
I think that on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mailing_lists
in the list following "The public mailing lists for the Wikipedia project include:"
gendergap
should be added. how to describe the intention of this list?
is this information still current? https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap
B.
... and I always wonder why stats creators are so sure about "knowing the gender" of users behind user names - btw, either/or, apparently counting only two genders ...
I would like to suggest that the list description for this list https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap not repeat any such number in its list description, and certainly without pointing to the source of this information
I also wonder what such statistics in particular may be intended to hide... as far as I am informed any stats (are designed to) hide more than they show ;-)
thanks & cheers, Claudia koltzenburg@w4w.net
