WikiProject Feminism was featured in a WikiProject Report in the Signpost on 7 March 2011.

Geena Davis Institute article

Hello! I'm Robin, posting here as part of my work for Beutler Ink on behalf of the Geena Davis Institute. I've disclosed my conflict of interest on the article Talk page and on my User page.

I'm looking for help improving the article, which has become a bit overly detailed and self referential. You can see my proposed changes here. The version I've proposed brings it back to focus on secondary sourcing. I'm posting here since the article is listed within this WikiProject's scope. Thanks for taking a look. Cheers!

Marie Curie

If Maria Skłodowska-Curie, commonly known as Marie Curie, wanted her surname to be Skłodowska Curie and her page should reflect that. It is only her common name because of sexism and xenophobia.

@Enfyslemle, I understand the want to correct for historical injustices, but as an encyclopedia our role is to reflect sources, including when they change their stances on such things. It is our duty to inform readers about the world and how it is viewed as it is, not as what it should be. I recommend you take a look at why we can't right great wrongs. If you feel there are times this position further hampers marginalized voices, I would submit that it at least also protects them at a far greater rate.

-== Identifying the wife of the subject of a biography article ==
+Hello! I'm Robin, posting here as part of my work for Beutler Ink on behalf of the [[Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media|Geena Davis Institute]]. I've disclosed my conflict of interest on the article Talk page and on my User page.
-Perhaps this topic might have been previously discussed in detail elsewhere. If so, I regret my failure to locate any discussions about it. Can anyone suggest one or more preferable ways of identifying the wife of the subject of a biography article? My reason for raising this topic relates to my frequent experience that some wives are not identified at all in articles or, if if she is mentioned, she is mentioned in the middle of an article, which risks her having the status of an afterthought.[[User:John Desmond|John Desmond]] ([[User talk:John Desmond|talk]]) 14:04, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

-Requesting help with [[Potty parity in the United States]]. I've created the article with a "Summary of legislation", but it needs to be filled in. I've done so partially, but it can be difficult to search law codes, especially if legislation has been repealed. Assistance from editors knowledgeable about US state law codes would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

-I started a very rough draft for the 'Women in motorsport' article request in my [[User:PREDESTINATO/sandbox|sandbox]]. I'm wondering if there are similar Wikipedia articles to use as a guide for the style and structure? I think the '[[Women in NASA]]' page is a good reference, but the various racing series in motorsport will be difficult to organize by decade. Please let me know what you think, and if you're interested in motorsport, feel welcome to collaborate. Thanks!
