Female editors on Wikipedia
If women on Wikipedia require out-of-process knights in shining armor to protect them against the rampant sexism on Wikipedia, then they're worse off than just the appearances of the dominant shining white males appear to give them.
There is no due process on Wikipedia that can and will deal with the chauvinistic attitudes that female editors face in cyber space that rage on Wikipedia. And the latest example of the absolute failure of all leadership parts of Wikipedia to realize that there is no due process that deals with this issue is sad.[1]
Women don't win when they're treated like paternal subjects of their great white shining armor daddy who comes to their rescue because no one would dare make rules that protect them from the sexism. The rules might have to be enforced evenly, not arbitrarily and when convenient after all. --Blechnic (talk) 01:58, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Articles I've started at Wikipedia.
"Surely no-one disagrees that flinging essay links around as if they represented policy is a good idea; wanton essaylinkmongering is rarely productive."
A useful comment for administrators like Gwen Gale who are so found of hammering newbies with "don't template the newcomers." --Blechnic (talk) 02:06, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
