[Gendergap] What Gender is Wikipedia?

[Sarah Stierch]

Hi folks,

While a discussion was taking place on this list about gender neutrality 
and language, Victor (User:victorgrigas) and I were having a 
conversation about it via email. Victor decided to create a page about 
"what language is Wikipedia?"

http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/What_Gender_Is_Wikipedia

Hopefully you will contribute to your own and other languages.

Interesting mention about Russian Wikipedia, it states that they refer 
to Wikipedia as a female, similar to how in English we refer to ships as 
women.

Aweee...even Klingon is featured }:)   (How sentimental!)

-Sarah
