Speedy deletion nomination of Portal:Feminism
A tag has been placed on Portal:Feminism, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Questions on feminism
Hi there, I had purposed a deletion of the feminism portal and you suggested maybe I was misinformed as to feminism actually is, which is fair enough so I have a question for you, is feminism about equality of men and women? --Street Scholar (talk) 06:20, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Street Scholar! Thanks for the message! There are different types (or subtypes) of feminism. Yes, feminism is about equality of the sexes, that's really what feminism is all about, in my opinion. (but that is just my opinion) Women just want to be treated equally to men, not better or not less than men. If a feminist tells you differently, they're wrong, but entitled to have their own opinion. Most feminists agree with me, in fact, the majority of feminists want equality. If you want to ask more questions about feminism, feel free to email me: http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Special:EmailUser/Grrrlriot & I would love to discuss this further with you. Also, there are men that are feminists too, not just women. They support women's rights, which is what feminism is all about. In fact, most of the Wikipedians that have worked on the Feminism Portal and my Feminism Task Force Wikiproject are mostly men, which is odd because I figured there would be more women than men here on Wikipedia, but there are more men than women here on Wikipedia. --Grrrlriot (♠ ♣ ♦ ♥ †) 20:46, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry to butt in. But I have to ask you SS, under what deletion criteria did you see Portal:Feminism fitting exactly and why? And yes feminism is about equality of the sexes. Look up a dictionary definition or read a scholarly history of it and that's precisely how feminism is described--Cailil talk 00:27, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Pride 2014
Hi Grrrlriot. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Wikipedia, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21. See Wiki Loves Pride 2014 for more information. If you are interested, you might consider creating a page for a major city (or cities!) near you, with a list of LGBT-related articles that need to be created or improved. This would be a tremendous help to Wikipedia and coverage of LGBT culture and history. Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions! --Another Believer (Talk) 16:12, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
Personal infoboxes in relation to patriotism and nationalism
Hi Grrrlriot,
I saw your name on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Discrimination#Participants listing.
There is a discussion at Template talk:Infobox person#Citizenship suggesting a change of emphasis to a Citizenship entry from the Nationality entry.
The idea is to give more facilitation to Patriotism instead of Nationalism and also to allow more freedom of expression in regards to terminologies used.
Contributions are welcomed but may be worth checking last edit to check progress first :) Regards Gregkaye (talk) 20:48, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Invitation
Have you heard of the Kaffeeklatsch? It is a test area for women to hear and support each other. The idea came about as a result of a discussion at meta regarding my IdeaLab proposal (yet open) for WikiProject Women.
Now that the klatsch has survived an MfD and WMF legal has said that it does not violate the non discrimination policy,[1] I am looking for women editors who might like to join.
Although I have started a couple of discussions, they are not urgent. For now, the "Please introduce yourself" discussion is more important! I want to take it slow at first and build a small group before trying to address heavy topics or come up with big goals. For now, the klatsch is there as a sort of refuge. I hope you will consider joining, and invite other women editors, too, if you wish. Lightbreather (talk) 21:48, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Please comment on "Yale Student Abortion Art Controversy"
Hi! Given your interest in countering systemic bias on Wikipedia, I thought an ongoing discussion on the Yale Student Abortion Art Controversy page might be of interest to you. As you know, women who emerge onto the public sphere as "scandalous" (especially in relation to issues around sexual harassment, gender-based abuse, or reproductive issues) are oftentimes forever defined by the scandals surrounding them. At present, this Wikipedia page conflates the controversy, artist, and artwork, with a bias toward the controversy's notability over the artist and artwork's. I would appreciate your thoughts on how to improve or change the page to better reflect the artist and project. Thank you! —Vera Syuzhet (talk) 17:35, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
