Caste-based prostitution

An article caste-based prostitution was removed, to be redirected to prostitution in india, where any mention of prostitution revolving around caste was also removed. The section mentioning about it in child sexual abuse and child prostitution was also removed by the same users, with reasons given that vary each time it is put back. The topic is about villages of certain caste groups that revolve around prostitution of females, often groomed from a young age and it cites The Guardian and Al Jazeera. I would genuinely appreciate your input this matter here [1] [2] JustBeCool (talk) 02:35, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Notice for requesting to participate in gender equality related page moves

A page move discussion is going on here, Talk:2023 Cricket World Cup. Inviting to all interested editors here who are well experienced in gender equality and feminsim related subjects and if they use their insights to put their views in the dicussion. A similar discussion was happened last year for changing ICC T20 World Cup to ICC Men's T20 World Cup here In brief, ICC the governing world cricketing body has changed all their tournaments' names in gender specific way recently like ICC Men's Cricket World Cup (previously Cricket World Cup) or 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup (instead of 2023 Cricket World Cup) and has been well recognised by major cricketing websites along with news sites (RS). I think participation of more experienced editors from here would be dynamic in argument and counter argument an drefuting. Thank you. Drat8sub (talk) 20:50, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Aziz Ansari's #MeToo moment

There is an edit war at Aziz Ansari between editors who are citing sources for the noteworthiness of the allegation of sexual misconduct against Ansari and those who think it is insignificant or even a "dubious, trivial internet controversy."[3] We could use the input from editors who have experience with controversial MeToo articles. For reference, this Vox piece by Caroline Framke is an excellent summary of the reporting and one of the best pieces I've read on the story. (It is not currently cited in the article.) Please consider both how noteworthy is the allegation, and how noteworthy is the connection to the MeToo movement. Kolya Butternut (talk) 16:36, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

A feminist critique of Wikipedia’s epistemology

Some might characterize this article[1] as recondite.

Update to peer review page

Hi all, I've boldly updated your project's peer review page (Wikipedia:WikiProject Feminism/Peer review) by updating the instructions and archiving old reviews.

The new instructions use Wikipedia's general peer review process (WP:PR) to list peer reviews. Your project's reviews are still able to be listed on your local page too.

The benefits of this change is that review requests will get seen by a wider audience and are likely to be attended to in a more timely way (many WikiProject peer reviews remain unanswered after years). The Wikipedia peer review process is also more maintained than most WikiProjects, and this may help save time for your active members.

I've done this boldly as it seems your peer review page is pretty inactive and I am working through around 90 such similar peer review pages. Please feel free to discuss below - please ping me ({{u|Tom (LT)}}) in your response.

Cheers and hope you are well, Tom (LT) (talk) 23:15, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

StarFeminizita87, I am revisiting the Duke Lacrosse case page, which lacks NPOV. Here's what I wrote a couple years ago in ProjectFeminism, but didn't pursue because I felt like I needed support. The Shabazz editor who commented is apparently no longer editing. The lede sentence remains problematic in my view. There is a discussion on the Duke Lacrosse case talk page [page] about labelling the case a "false accusation" not being NPOV. Beauxlieux (talk) 16:06, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
Beauxlieux I've heard about the Duke Lacrosse Case. Maybe I can find something that can prove otherwise that its indeed happened. Where do I begin?

StarFeminizita87 (talk) 16:28, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

StarFeminizita87, great! So glad you're interested. I don't know that you'll find evidence that it indeed happened, but there's a lot more nuance to the case than the page allows. Actually, I think the place to start might be on the page about the book about the case, The Price of SilenceThe_Price_of_Silence_(book). I have not read the book itself but it goes into the nuances of the case. The book's page only talks about the problems with the book and doesn't talk about its many positive reviews. Reading through the reviews (and the book if you want) and fleshing out that page would give you good perspective on the case. Beauxlieux (talk) 16:56, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
FYI the Duke Blue Devils men's lacrosse also says falsely accused. And the lead of the main article has been returned to saying falsely accused. --Xurizuri (talk) 04:12, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Femicide

Hi all, in light of recent events concerning the disappearance of Sarah Everard and the list of femicides read out in Parliament [4] and covered in the Guardian[5]. I have drafted a new navigation box template to highlight the femicides that have taken place and the organisations and support groups that exist also. I took my cue from the Black Lives Matter template (so it could cover related pages, existing and proposed legislation, popular culture also) but I wanted to gauge your opinion on the usefulness and appropriateness (or not) of the draft template as things stand. The template is here. and there is a discussion on the template's talk page about what is best to include (or not), so those who do not wish to see it do not have to.

Lets make things equal

Hello, As you might already know, a page , Steak and bj day, is in existence in Wikipedia since 2005! A day that women are 'obliged' to give sexual pleasure to man without receiving any. Was Valentine's day, Cunnilingus day ? Ok,it is just an internet joke.But,it makes Wikipedia look sexist too.I mean there is not anywhere around here the equivelant joke-holiday,Cake and cunnilingus day that is, is it ? I wouldn't like it if a 13 years old or less learn things that way.The wrong way. Due to my difficulty in English and of course editing Wikipedia it is hard to create the page of Cake and cunnilingus day, wich is mentioned at the media lately, in Europe mostly.One can find references on media, mostly is about about Steak and bj day ,because that's what they find in Wikipedia !! I would appreciate if you could help me on this here: User:Georgeof1001/Cake and Cunnilingus Day Please note, i am not related to the authors, i just find it odd that the one holiday is here the other is not!

La Grande Familia

Hello,

I created that page people interested in Feminism would be interested in: La Familia Grande scandal (Duhamel scandal in France)

The incest at the origin of the scandal is on a young boy and it is partly about abuse by men on men, but the scandal and the societal discussion deals in great part with sexual abuse mostly on young girls in families in France. It also deals with patriarchy, since this is what let the situation go on (group of men in power through Sciences Po). These aspects are not detailed in the article so feel free to look at it if you speak French. There are plenty of sources all over the internet.

Look also at the critics of the "sexual liberation of children" in France, an intellectual posture used by those men in power. It is not in the article either.

Female Socialization

Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to editing on wikipedia, but something I'm really passionate about is female socialization and essentially how this socialization creates behaviors and thought processes in those raised as women and affects our understanding/how we interact with the world. (examples would be using filler words such as "like" and "um" in order to not be interrupted by men, softening our arguments with "i think" or "i feel like" so our statements are less assertive, all of the behaviors and practices we exhibit when alone to protect ourselves from violence perpetrated by men) I did a little poking around and I didn't really find any specific articles discussing this in depth. This is something I know a lot about and I have sources on, and I want to find a place to put it on wikipedia (I feel like this is something that isn't really discussed much and having it accessible to so many people would be amazing)- I don't know if I should start a new article because that seems a bit extreme and I also feel way too new at this to do that, so if anyone has any suggestions on what articles I can help with/ideas for me that would be great!! All advice is appreciated. <3 Bettyscardigan (talk) 23:30, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Female characters

We're seeing a string of attempts to delete articles about female characters in notable films. Because coverage of them is often secondary (as a supporting character to a male lead) the argument is that the character isn't as notable as their notable opposite. This article is a good example (currently at AfD). These are typically lazy nominations without any regard to WP:BEFORE and as much as I'd like to assume good faith, it's happening with enough regularity that its becoming a problem.

Renaming discussion at Gender bias on Wikipedia

Is the Male as norm article correct?

Currently, the male as norm article describes it as the concept that gendered language creates the concept that men are the norm. This does not match my understanding of it, although I'll admit I'm far from a feminist scholar. My understanding is that language, behaviour, crash test dummy designs, anatomical diagrams, etc demonstrate (and maintain) male as the norm. That more accurately, it's the societal and personal tendency to view males/men as the default, and females/women as the exception. Does the article need to be fixed, or do I need to update my understanding? --Xurizuri (talk) 10:51, 3 March 2022 (UTC) (please ping me if you respond)

It sounds as though your understanding is more comprehensive than the article describes, so I'm not sure why you should need to narrow it. .and, truthfully, this is a highly subjective concept, and viewpoints on it are going to differ wildly. (I will say though that, to me, crashtest dummies look pretty sexless and genderless).
I personally do not think language is the cause of our 'male as a norm' biases. When I was 9, at the beginning of the school year, the teacher sat down with each kid in the class (~30 kids, boys and girls), and has us read out loud the first two pages of a novel that was told in first person. The first person narrator character was a young woman, but those first couple of pages didn't indicate what her gender was. Then the teacher asked each kid if they thought the narrator was a guy or a girl. Every one in the class said they thought it was a male. That came not as a result of male-gendered language; there was a complete lack of gendered language, and we still drew that conclusion. The male permeance goes far deeper than gendered language and trivial things like pictures in advertisements, I think. 2600:1702:4960:1DE0:6451:588A:E890:CE87 (talk) 17:15, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

User script to detect unreliable sources

Main page: User:Headbomb/unreliable

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

  • John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Invitation to look at redactive/reverting edits

I am a former professor, now involved in startup buainesses. I occasionally edit out of WP retirement when I turn to a WP article for added sources and context, from a mainstream business news sourse.

Today, after being informed of a Spotify-related article in the NYT, I turned to the Call Her Daddy podcast article, and noticed both its datedness, and earlier removal of content that I thought well-sourced and substantive. Because the content that was removed related to varying views about whether the content and aims of the podcast align with some form of feminism, I raise the propriety of those edits here.

Specifically, after my first edit to return some of the inappropriately removed earlier content — wherein I added only a single well-sourced sentence regarding the former owner-distributors of the program in question — that edit, and indeed, its entire section were deleted.

Here are the two diffs that are relevant.

1, and

2.

The original edit regarding feminism and misogyny was removed, ostensibly because it was seen as "mostly conjecture and WP:UNDUE" (with which I disagree, largely). The return of one sentece of it today was removed (along with rest of section), because it was stated that reputable discussion of the attitudes and mores of the owner-distributor of the podcast were not relevant (again, a persepctive with which I disagree).

I propose that the removed content be evaluated by several here, and the initiative be taken from this Project to evaluate what of the original content is worth fighting to have remain.

Note, the overall positivity of the article with regard to the podcast content, the removal of original content questioning the feminist bona fides of the program, and the rapidity with which my attempts at scholarly additional edits were identified and reverted, suggest the possibility that this article might have devoted editors committed to maintaining the current limited scope and perspective of the article.

Note, I edit intentionally from IP, which also may be the reason for the very rapid attention and reversion of these edits. (I will not return to logged editing, because of the various forms of bias and trolling that can take place here, I am least concerned that someone trace me via IP to Chicago, or whatever city I am currently visiting.) With regard/cheers. 2601:246:C700:558:2584:8D15:B064:AD34 (talk) 17:03, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Feminist reading

Should the term feminist reading be created as a redirect to feminist literary criticism? Or is there a more appropriate subject? AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 17:59, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Amplifying Appalachia Edit-a-thon, entire month of March 2023

Hi everyone,

Some of y'all might have participated in previous years' events, which have yielded a ton of improved Appalachian content on Wikipedia.

For 2023, folks from WVU libraries and beyond are holding an asynchronous editing event for the entire month of March (1-31)!

Our Edit-a-thon is focused on amplifying the stories and figures of under-represented Appalachian artists, writers, and other creators, particularly womxn, people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, and other disenfranchised communities. We have been lucky enough to work with Art+Feminism and our event is held under that umbrella!

If you want to participate, please sign up through this link: https://artandfeminism.org/edit_a_thon/amplifying-appalachia-2023-edit-a-thon/ ... which will take you to our event dashboard, which has some starting points for pages that need some attention (under construction as of 2/4/2022). The password to join is "app23" (no quotation marks). Rhizomesandranch (talk) 17:12, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Project-independent quality assessments

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

Straw feminism

Straw feminism has been on my to-do list for awhile because it's extremely short. I asked EvergreenFir because their userpage stated they were an expert that specialized in gender studies. I didn't recieve a response, which is fair enough. This method seems less personal and a better way of attracting wider attention to anyone who might want to try? Or even give me advice about trying myself. I'm assuming I'd want to look for more academic sources but I also don't want to accidently stray into essay-like territory given the subject matter. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 18:04, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

I get a few hits from a Wikipedia Library search for "straw feminism", but there's not much out there. If you don't turn up much more in your search for sources, a merge to Antifeminism might be best. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 18:50, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Timelines

Working through the split proposal backlog, I stumbled on the large number of partly-overlapping timelines among feminism. There seems to be a main thread of interlinked timelines, which are:

  1. Timeline of women's legal rights (other than voting) and it's century-divided lists;
  2. Timeline of women's suffrage and its subsidiary lists for the US and Muslim countries.
  3. Timeline of feminism

But then there is a quite separate strand of timelines associated to the individual waves, namely

  1. First-wave_feminism#Timeline (which is proposed to be split to a separate article)
  2. Timeline of second-wave feminism
  3. Third-wave feminism#Timeline
  4. Fourth-wave_feminism#Timeline
At least the first of these overlaps equally heavily with all three of the timelines of the first group, not just the Timeline of feminism.

Do members of this project have any opinion on how better to bring these into sync? Felix QW (talk) 10:03, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Center for Reproductive Rights

Center for Reproductive Rights article is anemic and out-of-date. It is not reflective of the organization's significance in the fight for abortion rights. The list of cases "in recent years" was from 2013, ten years ago. Meanwhile CRR has dozens of cases currently open, including the highly publicized Zurawski v. State of Texas with 15 plaintiffs who were harmed by the state's anti-abortion law. CRR operates in a number of countries.

Google searching "Center for Reproductive Rights" (entire phrase in quotes) gets 600 hits in NYTimes, 500 in AP News, over 400 in Washington Post. 600k hits on the web in general.

Wikiproject Feminism was listed on the talk page for this article. I also posted at WikiProject Abortion Article improvement & creation requests but that project seems moribund with almost no activity. -- M.boli (talk) 14:35, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Wife-selling needs a review..

Hello all, I recently stumbled upon the article wife selling, and it definitely needs a rewrite:

  • Intro is too long, too general, and lacks references.
  • While this may have been practiced /is perhaps still practiced, it wouls likely be good to differentiate a little. In most parts of the world, it is no longer possible to "sell a wife", to get a divorce, cover for debt, etc
  • The part on the Roman pater familias is inaccurate at best, and likely wrong.

In short, the article needs looking at. Likely a rewrite/correction of most of the article. Eptalon (talk) 20:32, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
