Hi folks,

I've just been watching this list quietly (and the other one I'm
interested in, Education). I'm a newbie to Wikipedia and this
conversation in general.

But I have an idea - what about a list of "problem pages" (in terms of
gender content) for women to go to and edit. Especially newbies who
don't know where to start playing around with Wikipedia - a list of
pages that could use some female love and attention...

This list could be easily accessed & added to - I could post it on FB,
on my university email list (I'm a recent graduate of the Communications
PhD program at Columbia) etc.

Do you like the idea or do you think it would create a mess?

Best,
Karina
