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.

I bet there is a significant minority of women in the US that would be extremely happy if men knew the anatomy of the #female #reproductive system.

Once upon a time, I used a female handle on wikipedia and wrote about my trade. I will never do it again, because I got torn apart by know-it-alls who definitely had no idea of the subject at all.

I still contribute to Wikipedia now and again, but I use a male-sounding handle. That cuts down the flack by an appreciable amount.

So - what shall it be?

@WenAstar @TopKnot @wikimediafoundation As a regular financial contributor to Wikipedia, this makes me very angry. Sounds like what Wikipedia needs is an echelon of women and marginalized voices adjudicators who are there to eradicate that flack and bounce the offenders from participating. The space has to be made safer, Wikipedia -- don't keep guilting people into doing more when the folks there are so atrocious.
