"Wiki wants Women".
*The international media is abuzz with the gender gap in Wikipedia contributors around the world. Also, a survey by Wikimedia Foundation shows that English Wiki has only 13% women editors. To level this skewed ratio,
"English Wiki".
I would have taken this article more seriously, if it hadn't called "Wikipedia" simply "Wiki":
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiWikiWeb
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia
Note that "wikip" is a useful shorthand for "Wikipedia" on IRC/IM/etc. but not simply "Wiki". This kind of mental sloppiness always makes me think that the person who say that is an idiot.
