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 Several years ago, I created a page for Deirdre Costello (actress). An editor said it didn't have enough citations. So I added multiple. The editor switched their complaint to notability. I pointed out that she'd won a major award and been in multiple film, TV and radio shows with named roles. Other editors joined in the discussion to get her entry deleted (even though equivalent men retained their articles). The experience discouraged me from editing any more. :(

Although it was deleted from Wikipedia in 2017, the article lives on in places that copied content from Wikipedia e.g. https://en.everybodywiki.com/Deirdre_Costello_(actress). That copy even has the "needs additional citations" banner that was initially added. You can see the citations that I added to address the banner.
