      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.

          My father passed away this week, this is an issue I care about deeply but I’m afraid I’m sitting this week out.

          There’s the Women in Red project that addresses the issue https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_Red … and people like @jesswade have been doing a lot of practical work in improving the representation of women on Wikipedia. But there’s still a ways to go. Cc @emcandre

          I thought this was telling from the Jess wade interview. (In full disclosure, I’m the author.) “I noticed that it would take longer for the pages of African-American women to get reviewed. So I just got better at making their pages to avoid any criticism.”

          I've thought about contributing to Wikipedia, but 1) I don't care to learn another markup language and 2) I don't need more fights in my life.

          It seems to self-select for people who have the time to become experts, but choose to plow it into obssessively curating idiosyncratic patches of Wikipedia instead.

          I'm an idiot but just realized this is why so many romance authors are missing on Wikipedia.
