Wikimedia has been making posts like this for the better part of 15 years. I remember attending Wiki editing parties for queers and trans people all the way back in 2010 or 2011. In 2014, I was even in a culture and technology undergrad class where the professor invited a Wikipédia editor on international women's day to coach the class and encourage women to make notable edits about women's rights and labour.

Over the years, none of my additions or changes to Wikipédia have survived. Usually because of notability issues, because women and queers have to reach stratospheric levels before they deserve even the smallest mentions on the public Wiki.

(Tangentially, I also ended up doing some small edits to some historical profiles, based on family documents (mostly correcting places of birth for a handful of ancestors) and almost all of those got reversed as well, with the erroneous information restored.)

Well over a decade later, I see posts like this and shrug. https://wikimedia.social/@wikimediafoundation/112122065590727479

This #WomensHistoryMonth, join us in closing the gender knowledge gap on Wikipedia and across the Wikimedia projects. #ChangeTheStats #OpenTheKnowledge Get started: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wikipedia-needs-more-women

@gersande This is why I can't see donating my scarce $ to them. They could change the culture there. They're aware of this. And they do not.
@ml This is also why I have never given them a cent. They have cash. $240 million in net assets from 2021, and an endowment in the hundreds of millions: https://wikimediafoundation.org/about/annualreport/#a1-2021-2022

@gersande Wikipedia rules, especially around notability, reliable sources, and original research just wreck attempts to improve it.
@gersande My edits usually get lost as well. I still donate to Wikipedia because it's still the best website on the web.
@gersande I read an academic paper that described the problem of antisocial behavior in anonymous online communities as “The Jimmy Wales effect” and I whewwwwww
@gersande "gender knowledge gap"?! What's that suppose to mean?

@gersande You might be interpreting "notability" wrong, by reading what Wikipedia says rather than what it does.

Your article being "notable", for Wikipedia, means that you have been participating in the Wikipedia Politics(tm) enough that powerful Wikipedians take note of you, and that the note is positive.

@gersande
This. I feel this so much.
