Hi Migdia,
When you signed up for this mailing list, you signed up for it on https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap which states " To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the Gendergap Archives" and links to the archived posts. I'm sorry you didn't see before that what you wrote was public.
As co-moderators, myself and Sue are unable to change that - only the people in charge of the computer systems can delete publicly archived posts, and even then, they do not control other mailing-list archiving websites. The best thing for *you* to do is to write some of the websites that archive this material (see below my signature for some link suggestions to get you started [1][2]), and write...*a lot*, elsewhere, on the public web (other websites, mailing lists about films, etc), so that when people do Google your name, they find the stuff you want them to see, instead of things from this mailing list you contributed.
You can also ask in the #wikimedia-tech channel (per: http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/Remove_a_message_from_mailing_list_archiv...) they might be able to provide advice or possibly assist you with your request. You can access that here: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#wikimedia-tech
Since you do not want to be associated with the list anymore, I am going to take this as a request to unsubscribe. If you do wish to rejoin the mailing list in the future, and are okay with your messages being publicly logged and archived, you can rejoin here: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap
I hope this helps,
Sarah Stierch

I don't know how else to say in that I thought these were emails -- not for publication and therefore googleable. I want my comments removed. The link to which I was sent to "remove" items is not a working link. I'm very frustrated and upset that this has happened. THIS WILL HAVE A DELETERIOUS EFFECT IN MY CAREER because people will be googling my film and will read all of this and that outside of any context -- including nasty conjectures and suppositions about my character. And even this will be published. So I can't say anything else here. My time is limited and I can't spend it doing something that seems like a bottomless pit.

I'm very disturbed that my comments are now googleable. And I guess so is this one I'm writing right now. There's no context and it's just ery disturbing. My short has been seen in 25 film festivals around the world and now it appears that any comment I make is googleable, which will have a deleterious effect on me in terms of getting a job. Please remove all my comments. I'm really upset -- I'm afraid of what I say.

"...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. ?"
