"Meanwhile, these college feminist Wikipedia attacks have become something of a regular thing: (Conservative woman author lists "examples")"
We'll see if they post my reply... ;-)
Saw this earlier today: http://www.campusreform.org/?ID=6785. I expect we will see more.
This is why we can't have nice things.

A little quick fact-checking, on the original Crimson article, not the spin-off articles:
1) "Erica X. Eisen ’16, a former Crimson arts chair, beefed up the text on the Wikipedia page on American feminism, deeming it 'too short' and what the site considers a 'stub'...”
A quick check of "Feminism in the United States", which is a redirect of "American feminism", shows it was in fact edited on September 7, however not by Eisen but by someone names Acire93, who appears to be an experienced editor, not a newbie, and who made some routine heading and link formatting changes. The article is most certainly not a stub, and was not a stub on Sept. 7. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Feminism_in_the_United_States&...
2) "WikiProject page on feminism ... suggests that users delete a comic strip stereotyping lesbian women."
Um, no, it doesn't. And a quick check of the page history shows the page has not been changed recently. It's not on the talk page either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Feminism
3) "Users can choose to delete a page..."
*facepalm*
4) "Zhang now has her own Wikipedia page."
Read it while you can, because it looks like the event sponsors did not explore the concept of WP:NOTABLE.
5) The rather polemical and provocative statements about “dismantling the patriarchy” and "taking out phrasing they saw as offensive" are not linked to anything that can be verified, and are certainly no where on the Manifesta Magazine website, but are only sourced to an unpublished email. Given the accuracy of the rest of the article, all I can say is {{citation needed}}.
Someone needs to point the Harvard University student writers (and their faculty overseers, if there are any) to this blog post: "“We were missing 1,500 women scientists [in 2013],” [Temple-Wood] says. “What’s the next massive content gap we’re going to find because we engaged someone who wasn’t engaged before?” https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/08/31/funding-projects-pizza-grants/

There is a deletion discussion about a lesbian comic strip, but it concerns the applicability of fair use, not "stereotyping lesbian women": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2015_August_27#Fi...
zhang does have some reviews, so maybe marginally notable. one of these days she'll have a whiting award.
article reviewer couldn't be bothered with AfD put notability tag spam on it
lol
