A big thank you to Netha for conducting the interview, and thanks to this list group for your support.  I don't edit in a vacuum so knowing you are in my wikilife is important to me. Again, thank you.

Will my interview inspire more women to edit?  Don't know.  But I do know we need the press to spin out more positive stories about wikiwomen and why we edit and how we work it into our lives.  The HufPo interview and the Slate GGTF piece were published on the same day.  If a woman read both articles, how would it affect her decision to click the edit button? ... and if the reader were a man, how would it affect his decision?  It would be interesting if citizen-journalists posted some youtubes asking Joe Public to read the 2 articles and then give an opinion on how likely they would be to click Wikipedia's edit button.  This may be a good idea for an IEG... how press coverage of Wikipedia effects the decision to click the edit button. It interests me; would it interest others?  Has it been done?

Thanks to those who have sent me the info on the list. I've reported
it for "spam" and "other" -- unfortunately Google doesn't appear to
let you add any comments.

If anyone is still a member of the list and they make the membership
list available check to see if this "Russavia" is
russavia.wikipedia@gmail.com

All I am seeing there is:

"You must be a member of this group to view and participate in it.

Apply for membership or contact the owner.

Report this group"

Also, I've left a message for Leigh over on Meta at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Leigh_Honeywell#Gender_gap_mailing_list
noting also that I am on moderation on this list. I don't know who did
that or why, I wasn't advised about it, but if it was due to this case
it'd be great to have that lifted as well.

Thanks.

Sorry for not letting your message through sooner Russavia, for some reason
it didn't show up in the queue until today (the queue was completely empty
yesterday.)  You aren't on +mod over this, though I'd have to look back to
remember why you were (and I'd be surprised if we didn't tell you at the
time.)

FWIW: I know who set up the list and it wasn't Russavia and wasn't anyone
with an interest in gendergap issues.  I've been having major health issues
and know I'm not on the ball on this one, but would advise not engaging
with anyone affiliated with the alternate list.  The group that created it
is a group that has harrassed ENWP editors irl in serious ways in the past
and present.

Well, I suppose the Arbitration Committee will now figure out why I thought
the case name should be changed.

The Tor Project today put out a statement against online harassment, in
particular the singling out of women:
https://blog.torproject.org/blog/solidarity-against-online-harassment

It's worth a read, and I'm sure they would welcome comments from other

I kept providing this link to editors and Arbitrators during Arbitration
to show just how obsessed the media is Wikipedia's gendergap, but who
believes this loud mouthed woman?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Countering_systemic_bias/Gender_gap_task_force/media

Of course I will have to point out I already was banned before I wrote
the OUTRAGEOUS comment he quotes. But I must admit it is an accurate and
well-turned phrase... ( “the Manchester Gangbangers and their
cronies/minions.”)

I thought this all might happen pretty fast, way before I had my
detailed the scandal ad nauseam on my updated carolmoore.net website.
(It's 8 years out of date cause I spent too much time on Wikipedia.) I'm
so happy I'll be able to greatly improve my own site (and my others)
with all the brain exercise and research knowledge I've gained over the
years.

Because of the recent possibility someone faked an IP to get an editor
in trouble as a sock, I've been investigating how the heck they do it.
I went to the Tor page and read enough to know I didn't have days and
days to figure it all out. (Or to figure out if some banned editors or
socks were paying $6.00 a month to use it to fake different IPs and fool
the check user program.)

Reading the editorial I had to wonder if they actually are saying: "If
we think you are using Tor to harass people, we will stop you?"

I'm sure lots of people would leave if they were.  So I guess it was
only a moral statement - and a great one!! - but just wondering...

The name is accurate.  It was the interactions at GGTF that started the
hullabaloo.  The Arbitration committee was coming out against it until
someone brought SPECIFICO's harassment of me to ANI, several GGTF people
got up to document/complain about it happening at GGTF, and SPECIFICO
got interaction banned.

At that point Sitush went crazy, screaming about outing and researching
me, site banning me, writing the bio, which ended up with and Misc for
Deletion and an ANI.

Suddenly Arbitration comittee decided "GGTF" was important enough.

Like Sitush, did enough Arbitrators think these WOMEN (and their
supporters) were getting just TOO uppity and getting males in trouble
for their mere boys will be boys (harassment) behavior?

Remember a couple of them were convinced by some liars that GGTF was
strongly behind the proposal that a woman's edits only could be reverted
by TWO male editors?  It took several people with diffs to disabuse them
of that notion!!!

So this really was very much about GGTF and interactions there.

Well perhaps it would have made the news.  Or perhaps the author was
priming the pump for the GamerGate arbitration case, with which his name is
closely associated. Or perhaps it's just coincidence that someone who has a
platform also happens to be watching the arbitration committee at this
particular time and commented on the case that just happened to close at
the same time.

I disagree, however, that it was ever about the GGTF.  This was a pretty
simple behaviour case and the behaviours submitted in evidence and
obviously considered by Arbcom went far beyond the GGTF, in the case of
pretty well everyone involved.  It didn't take me long into my first term
as an arbitrator to realise that if an editor behaved problematically in
one venue, they were pretty much always behaving problematically in other
venues; in other words, the locus of the dispute was almost never a key
factor, it was the behaviour.

If people on this list insist that it really was all about the GGTF, then
the fact that the behaviours that resulted in the most significant
sanctions were all pointed at people who had a longer history of activity
at the GGTF than those who had a short history may be telling a truth that
many are reluctant to hear.

I dont disagree that there was some bad behavior, but i didnt see anything ban worthy. I do disagree that the case had nothing to do with ggtf though.

What GGTF did was bring into focus for more individuals issues of
behavior (sexism, male dominance, negative female response to same) that
had not been as clear before.

When it appeared GGTF might have the ability to change some of these
behaviors, it was forced to Arbitration by those who wanted to make sure
those behaviors would not be challenged.

Arbitrators made it clear that a few female temper tandrums regarding
things like organized and repeated BLP violations or repeated harassment
over a number of years will not to be tolerated and would be punished
with the ultimate sanction. (Unless of course one takes the trumped up
and even fabricated accusations of two editors who have been harassing
me long term, one most definitely a sock puppet, seriously!)

And they made it clear that  systemic bad male behavior to forward
various agendas -- if supported by enough editors willing to have a fit,
quit, stack discussions with their supporters, vote out arbitrators,
etc. in an organized fashion -- would result in only a smack on the wrists.

I think a lot of women quit Wikipedia after the first couple snide and
critical comments because they sense that that sort of sexist double
standard pervades Wikipedia.  I'm annoyed with myself I put up with it
as long as I did.

has now been protected against all edits apart from sysops. In my
view, the gradual change over the last two years to seeing the edit
rights of banned users changed so they can no longer discuss their ban
or related issues, is a poor move for openness of the project, and a
distinct lack of belief in reform or the ability of the project to
welcome back past banned or blocked users.

This case is doubly offensive as now nobody can use Carol's talk page
to ask about the ban or develop evidence that might help with an unban
request.

I have raised a polite request with the admin that took this action at
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ricky81682#User_talk:Carolmooredc>,
should this fail, then I can escalate to have this reviewed at
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection>.
If anyone on this list would like to support removing the edit block
on Carol's page, now is the time to make yourself heard on-wiki.

Thanks,
Fae
