   Wikipedia's vision is of a world in which everyone can freely share in the sum of all human knowledge. But we cannot achieve that when we are missing so much knowledge about women.

   This #WomensHistoryMonth, join us in closing the gender knowledge gap on Wikipedia and across the Wikimedia projects.

   #ChangeTheStats #OpenTheKnowledge

     @wikimediafoundation stop deleting articles because some pissant editor decided it wasn't noteworthy _enough_ for them.

     @graf @wikimediafoundation This has been an issue for a while, if Wikipedia has wrong information about you you can't correct it, it has to come from a news source.

     @graf @wikimediafoundation I no longer do edits for Wikipedia because the chance your edit is going to get messed with by some dickhead on a power trip with no life is way too high now.

     @wikimediafoundation As long as you will continue to support toxic behavior discriminating women and non binary people as editors, this will never happen. The old white male majority of editors will continue protecting itself from newcomers with a fresh mind. The results are visible in what recently happened in the French Wikipedia endangering many people (you absolutely know what I'm writing about).

     You need to intervene. You need to stop this. Only then new contributors can rise and raise.

     @wikimediafoundation Let me emphasize it : Your call for participation is pure victim blaming. The men don't let us edit. You pretend we do not want to edit. We want to edit, we want to contribute. But the old white cis men don't let us.
