The goal of this project was not to make women more visible. It was to brand them, in an international effort that English, German & French Wikipedia -at least that we’re aware of- have been part of.
Not happy with excluding trans women out of the women category... 🧵
Women’s projects made extra efforts to distinguish “biological” women. One of them was “woman (Q467)”, described as “female adult human”, but different from “female” and “female human”, or produced sound “female voice”, mantained by Wikiproject Women...
Another item causing reports is “female organism (Q43445)”, listing in its properties "does not have part - Y chromosome". This was also done with “male human” (Q84048850) and “man” (Q8441)...
The latest was FemBio ID, “identifier for a woman”. There are reports of the contstraint violations for each one.

A thread on the admin revalidation charade.
If someone loses admin rights, regardless of the amount of evidence of breaching important behavior & administration rules, they can just easily run for adminship again with their community support.
Wikipedia is a fraud!
1/6
Over the past decade, many active bibliotecarios have lost this right and attained it again either by opening a new account or by cynical reelection processes. Andrea Kleiman/Jaluj, for instance, gained admin rights in 2011 as Andrea teletrabajo... 2/6

...Lost them due to her poor behaviour, ran again in 2013 as Ganímedes (but lost), and took over in 2021 as Jaluj. 3/6

This happens all the time on article pages of LGBTQ+ people
The anti-abuse filter, patrollers and adminship are run by trolls, who encourage trolling
On this thread I'll show you how this bias works, and doesn't protect us 🧵
On Spanish Wiki, Elliot Page is under constant threat.
There's trolls spreading hate speech & admins encouraging deadnaming, or arguing in favour of Elliot's pre-transition red carpet pictures, when he's been open about how distressing they were.

While editors who play by the book to correct harmful misinformation get blocks of six months to FOREVER, this user, who is properly posting hate speech, gets punished with SEVEN DAYS!

A quick dive into the TERF page history to show how Wikipedia’s articles are used for hate speech indoctrination 🧵
Image
Image
The bias from GC users is hidden, making it seem on the reference list as legit. according to Wikipedia, must be reliable, unbiased official sources and not opinion articles or marginalised views. In this case, two “authorities” are provided to claim that the word terf is a slur.
Image
Image
If you click on the links you’ll see that they’re both unreliable sources according to Wikipedia’s own rules. And one of them even contradicts the statement! Acknowledging that “technically” it is not a slur.

Wikipedia's gender gap research FRAUD! 🚨
A much needed thread on how gender data's been tampered for a decade of $ & faulty research, starting with an essay from the leader of women & feminisms projects: women face online the same struggles as "the blacks" after slavery 1/8

Image
Image
This essay is an example of how previous research is missrepressented to fit GC interests.
It shows a concerning lack of seriousness or academic value. Everything's built on confirmation bias.
There's no questioning, for instance, of the nonsense of one of the sources: 2/8 Image
A ridiculous example of software development that's been taken seriously as part of a "personality of the sexes" campaign
According to this, btw, JKR is MALE!
If you play with it you'll see it's based on sexist stereotypes
