    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.

        Yep. Wikipedia operates as a barrier to women in the world. The least worst version is women’s pages that undersell their true accomplishments. Worst version is erasure.https://twitter.com/mkramer/status/1317605468928413699 …

        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.

        And threaten not to donate to them because they are sexist? If you come up with a list of instances, their annual begging bowl is the perfect time to push back.

        Absolutely; this was my MA thesis topic! If people want to improve Wikipedia's records of women, it's best to do this together with others. I encourage people to join @WikiWomenInRed, who offer great coordination & peer support!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red …

        Wikipedia have sadly copyed the bad parts of academia. Dogmatic rules. I hate the notability rule. In That that it's far to strict.

        Again: that is not the issue (not the main one, at least). The problem is that it is far too easy for trolls to abuse that or any other rule. What you need is to address is the fact that you do have trolls with malicious intent. And it's pretty obvious by this point.
