hi,<div><br></div><div>a collegue made me stumble upon a german user page with a couple of interesting notes concerning wikimedia participation: <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benutzer:DrJunge&amp;oldid=96427767" target="_blank">http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benutzer:DrJunge&amp;oldid=96427767</a> </div>


<div><br></div><div>there is quite a lot of statements why the author thinks the current wmf and wmde suggestions for increasing participation and image filtering are &quot;headless&quot; and will not lead to any success. and, there is one idea which i find very appealing:</div>


<div><br></div><div>to increase female participation, drjunge suggests to implement &quot;post-it&quot;s. they can be placed on any position into wikipedia pages, and are only personally viewable in a first step. later the visibility might be extended just like with other social networks. one funny side-usage of these post-its is that they of course can be placed onto images one does not like.</div>


<div><br></div><div>as i am not female and not non-participating, i&#39;d wonder what you think about such an idea?</div><div><br></div><div>rupert.</div><div><br></div>
