[Gendergap] Wikiquotes

[Sydney Poore]

There is a portal feminism on Wikisource but it is very under developed.

http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Portal:Feminism


See Josephine K. Henry added to the portal by me in March 2010.

http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Author:Josephine_K._Henry

The portal is not been edited very much since then.

I wrote about Nannie Helen Burroughs on WP and WQ.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nannie_Helen_Burroughs

http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Nannie_Helen_Burroughs

One way to do it is to write an Wikipedia article, upload images to Commons,
add their published works to Wikisource, and an entry on Wikiquote with good
quotes. It is a very efficient way to do it.

I've done it in the past for a few people. It is a great way to meet new
people on the other projects.
