Wikipedia's vision is of a world in which everyone can freely share in the sum of all human knowledge. But we cannot achieve that when we are missing so much knowledge about women.
This #WomensHistoryMonth, join us in closing the gender knowledge gap on Wikipedia and across the Wikimedia projects.

@wikimediafoundation As long as you will continue to support toxic behavior discriminating women and non binary people as editors, this will never happen. The old white male majority of editors will continue protecting itself from newcomers with a fresh mind. The results are visible in what recently happened in the French Wikipedia endangering many people (you absolutely know what I'm writing about).
You need to intervene. You need to stop this. Only then new contributors can rise and raise.
@forestine @braid @wikimediafoundation notability on wp is sloppy and seems arbitrary. i get the point of it overall, but it does give the impression of futility. you know, like laws that are strict, enforced unevenly, and used to target people who are already disenfranchised. you see people using deletion requests as punishment, as retribution. wp IS a bit toxic.
always this is framed as an imperfect system and better than nothing. yet when people decide to choose nothing, they wonder why.
@forestine @braid @wikimediafoundation
its broken. its unlikely to be fixed. good luck!
@braid @wikimediafoundation EXACTLY THAT!
As we can see from #WikipediaFR there is no redeeming quality to invest time and labour into contributing to #Wikipedia when transmisogynists and Incels are literally backrolling any changes and deleting any appeals to their sabotage...
You, and the rest of the thread, may want to look at this federated wikipedia alternative that was announced just a few days ago:
