"...This analysis will focus on characteristics of female participants on
English Wikipedia. The analysis will look to see if these participants are
representative of the female English speaking population. The analysis will
also explore, through some existing literature and in the conclusion, the
question of whether these potential differences could matter when planning
strategy to target the gender gap. ?"

Hi everyone,

I'm starting a list of media (specifically still photography but with
potential for video, as well) which needs improvement or doesn't exist on
Commons. Not specifically "women's themes" (we all love to argue what that
is), but, media that might involve women (doesn't have to be sexual in
nature) or you believe is male-dominated in certain themes and lacks in
equal gender representation.

This can include subjects or content like:

- Contemporary female painters
- Manicures
- Pierced females (they are often either anthropological images or
really poor casual/cutesy myspace style snapshots wiped off of Flickr) (for
males, too)
- Hairstyles
- Clothing

Just tossing out ideas. You're welcome to post here to the list or email me
directly.

And as always, I encourage you to assist in curating Commons and uploading
quality educational content to make it a healthier and better place. The
Commons uploader is really great and I think rather cut and dry, but, if I
can ever be of any assistance in helping you learn how to use Commons and
upload content, just ask.

Right now, I believe there are upwards of only about 3-5 active "open"
female contributors to the project, which probably contributes to the
unhealthy atmosphere and lack of representational content.

Thanks,

Sarah

Hi everyone,

Tonight Dominic (User:Dominic) shared the Arizona Womens Heritage Trail (
http://womensheritagetrail.org/) with me. We decided to make a project page
for it here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Feminism/Projects/AWHT_biographies

Some really amazing biographies and places that are lacking in quality or
aren't on Wikipedia. We were both pretty enamored with the stories!

Perhaps you'll learn about a woman or place you'd like to add to Wikipedia
in any language =)

-Sarah

Stumbled across this while doing a bit of assessing for projects..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallen_woman

Needs some work. Turns out it was originally redirected to prostitute.

Totally thought you guys would dig this, if you haven't seen it already.

Hi everyone,

I want to congratulate Sumana Harihareswara, Volunteer Development
Coordinator<http://blog.wikimedia.org/2011/05/03/welcome-sumana-harihareswara-volunteer-development-coordinator/>for
the Wikimedia Foundation, on being chosen as Femmeonomics "50 Women to
Watch in Tech." She's listed alongside some really amazing women -
including Valerie Aurora who is a friend of this mailing list and
co-founder of the Ada Initiative. <http://adainitiative.org/>[1]

She's quite a voice within the community - encouraging developers and
programmers to get involved in Wikimedia and participating in conferences
like Open Source
Bridge<http://blip.tv/open-source-bridge/open-source-bridge-2011-sumana-harihareswara-5315059>.
On a personal note, Sumana has been a beam of encouragement for me, and has
helped me gain confidence in regards to my "open source skills" and helping
me learn more about feminist and women's roles and organizations in the
open source community. She's also great to share a bottle of wine with.

Congratulations Sumana! We'll be watching (pressures on!)....

-Sarah

[1] Currently only the first ten are listed, but the rest are on the way!

Actually, here is the link to Sumana's coverage on Femmeonomics. (It's
alphabetical!) Sorry about that!
