Yes! I have never edited or contributed anything to wikiquote. I have contributed to Wikisource, and I'm starting to think I'm the only woman who ever has, even though it was two documents. I don't even think there is much of anything related to women's history on Wikisource...

We were discussing in #wikimedia-gendergap a few days ago about the need for more featured images of women and related subjects on Commons. I kept rolling my eyes everytime I saw the ATV that was a featured image the other day.

I'm actually developing a wikipage that will showcase a collection of topics that need expansion, watching, clean up, etc, and/or photos for English Wikipedia, which I naturally assume will be the same for other languages. Once it's a little fleshed out we can see if it's useful in any way. I think it's interesting just to see what we're lacking on...on top of the 1009232 other things I'm doing...

Looking at my wikiquotes talk page for the first time in a while, I was reminded that is another area women's contributions may not be taken as seriously.

Example: the deletion in 2009 of poet Marcella Boccia's quotes from English wikipedia after her article had been deleted from En wikipedia.

Actually, I just checked and it's not in the Italian wikipedia version either.  Despite http://www.google.com/search?ned=us&hl=en&q=Marcella+Boccia&tbm=nws&tbs=ar:1 notability in Italian I noted at time of deletion discussion.

So let's not forget Wikiquote!!
