Hi Sandra, I didn't mean that your posting it to this list was "gossip", I was referring to the initial news reports. It doesn't take a lot of imagination to figure out that there was a secondary motive behind the "disclosure" of this information to the press.

if i was a woman who wasn't familiar with Wikipedia, and I read this article, I would be a bit put off. #JustSaying
Maybe its my ADD creating that connection, but I obviously thought it relevant enough to post.
You don't have to agree with me, but I would appreciate you don't discredit my opinion/thoughts by calling it gossip. thanks!

I have to be honest here, I'm not really certain what this thread has to do with the gender gap. It just feels more like gossip than anything, particularly as a significant portion of the reporting either (a) has nothing to do with the purported subject of the articles and/or (b) is inaccurate.

This. No one has provided any solid evidence of a connection between the limited presence of a few pornographic pictures on Wikipedia and the gendergap. At best, the gender gap story here would be: This sort of story discourages women from becoming involved.
