      Yep. Wikipedia is a genuine huge barrier to women in public—most people’s first impression of someone is a Wikipedia page. Women are edited harshly, not contributed to, overlooked or deleted. You can help out by editing, adding and pushing back as much as possible.https://twitter.com/jmissig/status/1317602431610441730 …

      A well-published tenured professor who taught me had her wikipedia page removed for not being notable. I contested it and my request was denied. Then Wikipedia held some sort of “make pages for notable women scientists!” day. I brought that page back up and was denied again.

      It also becomes problematic because the Wikipedia data layer powers a lot of the open internet. There’s tons of bias built in.

          Let’s talk about @Wikipedia and the prison industrial complex. Wikipedia is one of the 10 most popular websites on the internet. It had 25 billion page views in May. It is one of the greatest collaborative human achievements ever.

          Not only the open internet, but it is also a popular model for multilingual text, especially in English. We're teaching our computers to read using training data written by sexist gatekeeping
