"have interest" that is...
And by that sentence i meant that they might or might not be in London
giving financial situation (some of us are waiting to hear if we get
scholarships...) but, damn, the list of women curious about citation
improvement and the general chaos of referencing and academia re: Wikipedia
is rather endless if we put our minds to it...or our feelers out!

Yes...I must say..this is the first I have heard about
this panel and the
outreach seeking women panelists. Including my involvement in numerous open
culture mailing lists...(but, perhaps I missed an email seeking
participants in my crazy life!).
I know a few women who might or might not be in London, but who might have
interested in this (from academia and the open culture/knowledge world
internationally)... all it would take is a few chances to send a call to
action to mailing lists.
Not really sure what to say regarding how to deal with having an all male
panel. I'm sure it won't be the only one. This is Wikimania after all...and
based on our gender ratio....
But, for humor's sake there is always this:

on this list?

Hello Gender Gap,
With some collaborators, I submitted this panel for Wikimania 2014
"Reform of citation structure for all Wikimedia project" [1]. Despite my
best efforts (and continuing efforts), I couldn't find any non-men to be on
the panel. I asked each of the potential panelists if they knew any other
qualified speakers (not specifically women, just other people), asked my
old colleagues, put a call out on social media. But it just ended up being
all-men.
Is it desirable to write something to the effect of "we are cognizant
this is an all-male panel, and would like to change the underlying factors"
as a preamble to the submissions? And if so, what is the right way?
Best,
[1]
