[Wikimedia-GH] Fwd: Re: [Wikimedia-l] surveys of active female editors?

For female editors. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] surveys of active female editors? Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2015 13:14:11 +0000 From: Andreas Kolbe &lt;jayen466(a)gmail.com&gt; Reply-To: Wikimedia Mailing List &lt;wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; To: Wikimedia Mailing List &lt;wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt;rg>, Increasing female participation in Wikimedia projects &lt;gendergap(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; +1. Here are some more questions that I would be interested in having answers to: -- What do women who are presently editing find most demotivating about contributing to Wikipedia? -- Have they ever thought of throwing in the towel, and what were the reasons? -- Based on past experience, what aspect of Wikimedia/Wikipedia culture would be most likely to cause them to stop editing at some point in the future? -- What change, if any, would they welcome most to feel good about contributing? You'd need a male control group for comparative work, to establish whether any of the answers are gender-specific. Crossposted to gendergap list. (Maybe someone with access to the research mailing list might like to crosspost this thread there as well.)
