John Blad from Wikimedia Deutschland is looking for a list of women in history who made major impacts - think Marie Curie and Sojourner Truth, or Julia Child and Alice Paul, or Pratibha Devisingh Patil.
Please email John off list if you have some ideas! He will appreciate it - and they should have a Wikipedia article - I'm presuming *at least* in English and/or German. Thanks!

[1] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_women_in_the_Heritage_Floor -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Extraordinary women Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2012 23:59:55 +0100 From: John Blad john.blad@wikimedia.de To: sarah.stierch@gmail.com CC: Nina Aldin Thune mrsnina@gmail.com
I need a list of extraordinary women with their birthyear or perhaps birtdate, or even both. I also need to know in a one-sentence what they have done.
Preferably someone that can match Steven Biko, Louis Pasteur, Dr. Martin Luther King, etc. Right now I have to many nerdy men on my list.. ;/
Feel free to forward to gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org but please don't say how it shall be used.

The 2nd phase of the Civility Request for Comment is now live at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Civility_enforc...
I believe this issue is relevant to gendergap since how we treat each other on Wikipedia affects our ability to retain new editors, and if we don't retain significant numbers of new editors, we don't have much hope of improving the gender gap.
The organizers of the RfC are hoping to attract wide participation, so please fill out the questionnaire and post your responses if you have the time.

Only does Wikipedia create such a complex system to exploring this.... "You have to create your own subpage.." oy vey...!
Thanks Kaldari for letting us know this exists..! (regardless)

It did take a while, but there really IS a lot of opposition to civility and the more we fill it out to the end - where they ask for suggestions - the better!
Mine was that they have a chart or much clearer examples of what is uncivil and proper sanctions for it to guide editors, complainers and admins.

After you finish your questionnaire, don't forget to add... [[Category:Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Civility enforcement/Questions]] to the bottom. Otherwise, it will never be seen.

Thank you. I have to update mine because to my horror I see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikiquette_assistance has been removed as an option.
So what am I supposed to do about a guy who curses me in talk page, edit summaries (including for a mistake HE made) and even Dispute resolution?? Go to WP:ANI????

Via http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Incivility#Dealing_with_incivility I discovered that
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment#Request_comment_...
says: " at least *two editors* must have contacted the user on the user's talk page, or the talk page(s) involved in the dispute, and tried but failed to resolve the problem.'
I don't know if I misread it before or it changed because I always through two users had to bring the RfC together. This is a much lower bar and I already do have two users who've complained in two places each.
So we'll see if s/he takes a hint from us complaining on user talk page...
