2019-12-08 | Physicist accuses 'white men in North America' Wikipedia editors of sexism | Daily Mail Online
"Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour Dr Wade said content editors, who she described as 'white men in North America,' went through all the profiles she'd written."
' A small number of editors decide which biographies stay on the site with how well known the person is taken into consideration. ', "However, last week, 50 of Dr Wade's entries were flagged by Wikipedia editors for not being prominent enough to stay on the site."
'Dr Jess Wade, who is a research associate at Imperial College London, has spent the last couple of years writing 800 plus biographies for the online encyclopedia. '
'Wade has given talks at schools and has been involved in outreach work to encourage more girls to take up science. '

even "accomplished" female "scientists" from this past 70 year period are a joke. look at the ridiculous amount of special favors they get. they even harass men and deny them quality of service in universities in order to put them at a disadvantage.
what i don't understand is that these tactics have somehow been construed as "not possible" even though they're historically how people got away with really sneaky shit.
