Clarifying inclusion criteria for the category "Violence against women"

To make the violence against women category's inclusion criteria more clear, I previously suggested on the Violence against women category talk page the addition of the following info box, which is similar to the info box explaining the inclusion criteria for the category Violence against men [1]. I decided to post here as well, because I have not gotten any feedback yet on that talk page, and I don't think it gets much traffic. I thought this wikiproject might have interest in the category. This is the proposed info box to clarify the category:

Before boldly editing the category main page, I wanted to see if there were any objections.--BoboMeowCat (talk) 00:59, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Help with two articles?

I'm going to post this on multiple applicable WikiProjects, so my apologies for the cut and paste. I don't really see the purpose in writing a new one for each WP. In any case, I need some help fleshing out the article for Gender Advertisements, the book by Goffman. Long story short, the article was created by a group of students who were sent here with apparently little to no instruction or education about Wikipedia and writing encyclopedia articles, so the page had the standard issues: original research, bad sourcing, tone- the works. I've done enough to show where the book would be notable, but the page does need to be fleshed out to focus on the book's influence on others and a basic outline. I'm not overly familiar with the work, so it'd be better for someone familiar with the work to edit the page. I think that the students probably saw the basic article for gender advertisement, which has similar issues (but better sourcing), and modeled their page after that and after the basic student paper type outline. Both articles could use some work from a savvy editor, if anyone's up for the challenge. I've cleaned out the worst in the book article and threw some sources in, so it has that going for it.

WikiProject X is live!

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Creating Template:Gender studies

This is a much-needed navbox that doesn't exist. Please help me create it and fill it. Current relevant templates are

for biological differences and

and the feminism sidebar

, but there does not seem to be an overall {{Gender studies}} template, so in my mind we shouldn't try and duplicate too many topics contained within those. Some articles (in no order) that may be relevant include:

• Gender, Gender identity, Gender studies, Gender & History, Gender neutrality
• Gender & language: Gender-neutral language, Grammatical gender, Gender-specific and gender-neutral pronouns
• Gender gap: Gender gap (Gender bias on Wikipedia), Equity and gender feminism
• God and gender, Gender variance, Gender role, Genderism, Gender binary, LGBT

Please help out by proposing some and we can create the template (and letting me know if one already exists). --Tom (LT) (talk) 03:24, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

There is a question at the Village Pump that should be of interest to this group:
