[Gendergap] Wikiquotes

[Ryan Kaldari]

Speaking of topics that need expansion, there are still HUGE gaps in 
Wikipedia's coverage of art outside of the United States. For example, 
there are no articles for "Mexican art", "Polish art", "Swiss art", etc. 
(not even stubs!) and don't even bother looking for African, South 
American, or Asian countries.
