Wikigender

The OECD Development Centre (www.oecd.org/dev) has recently introduced a new wiki-based Internet platform exclusively focused on gender equality, called Wikigender (www.wikigender.org).

If you are interested in joining this initiative and sharing your knowledge with other experts of gender equality, please contact us at contact@wikigender.org.

Please be advised that you will need a password to enter the site prior to its official launch on March 8 (International Women's Day), which we are happy to provide upon request.

We look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, The OECD Wikigender Team --Wikigender (talk) 14:18, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Pro-feminist men: A really terrible article - without references or NPOV - needs complete rewrite.Cailil 20:07, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

National Commission for Women (India) , Save Indian Family, Girija Vyas. Two of these articles are about notable feminist organizations in India and one abt a non-notable anti-feminist organization. They have been edited exhaustively by User:My Wikidness who, IMHO, has been filling them with some pretty horrendous sexist and anti-feminist bias by wrong citations and biased non-notable citations that I feel should be looked at by interested ppl for NPOV'ing.

• Occupations, gender roles, and women's history - I drafted this much-needed article and it was promptly tagged original research (6 minutes after posting the item, tagged stub). I've been adding some of the numerous cites available on the topic. Please feel free to help out. Basically this is the beginning of a longer project to write articles on the history of gendering within particular professions and occupations. --Lquilter (talk) 17:31, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
