Is it appropriate for the Foundation to refer to women as "chicks" and use the title "fellow" for staff positions? I'm not adamantly opposed to either, but I am convinced we can do much better.
On the issue of noticeboards, does anyone know of any actual reasons that any noticeboard has not tended to help solve the problem it was intended to address? All of them seem to have been relatively successful to me, and certainly have been lesser drama magnets than the general WP:ANI noticeboard which they tend to relieve by moving quality responsibilities from the administrators to the wider community.
It seems to me that the English Wikipedia would be far better with a systematic bias noticeboard to cover both gender and geographic concerns.
I've raised the general question of a gender-based notice board at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Gender_issues
Women chose Wikichix themselves and can change it if they wish. "Fellow" is pretty much standard; what would be your alternative?
