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 …

This is serious for the public, educators & journalists.
@jimmy_wales &@Wikipedia should create a more transparent editorial process and subject it to review by non-tech domain experts. It’s now an Amazon-like unregulated encyclopedia monopoly.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

The second you posted your first tweet, I went to see if you had a page and breathed a sigh of relief to see one. Although it doesn’t give you enough credit for being one of the few people who has been right about everything that mattered during the pandemic.

All this to say, thank you, thank you for your work and your writing.

@krmaher is not one to ignore the issue of gender bias on Wikipedia, which certainly is not to say it isn’t an issue. -
I’m really sorry, I lost my father this last week, I care about this deeply but I’m not really able to engage on Twitter for the time being.

I was born pessimistic, and I've only become more pessimistic. Anybody who isn't a straight, white, Christian, male, is going to be fighting an uphill battle forever. It would be nice to go through life not thinking about these things, but so it goes.

Mine sucked, and still sucks, too, but years ago, when someone flagged it for irrelevance, it was not deleted, even though much more relevant female scholars didn't have page yet.

We remember there was a highly publicized ArbCom dispute a few years back, where the main issue was misogyny. The outcome of it was bad. It's particularly frustrating because the open knowledge movement is so important!

Like, the ideals of the Wikimedia Foundation are really solid and the world needs that. In practice though, as a concrete organization, they fail to grapple with systemic misogyny and it very much biases what knowledge they actually make open.
