“Wikipedia Women�, The Facebook Group Options

[Jon Awbrey]

Wow, I was a member of the Facebook Group “Wikipedia Women� for about 15 minutes, but they didn't even give me a chance to say Howdy.

Fairly clear that it's intended to be a "rah rah" lovebombing group instead of any sort of meaningful discussion on real issues.

I won't even bother joining; it's a virtual certainty that they'll eject me, what with both Sue and Angela being members. There was (and presumably still is) a "wikichix" list that I was ejected from back in 2007 by Angela (for purportedly "violating the privacy of the list" by revealing that Florence was using the list to campaign against Danny in the 2007 board elections). In the six months or so I was on it almost nothing of substance was discussed.

We have, of course, seen it all before. WikiAbuse, WikBak, and a viral host of others. If you look at how quickly they jerked the GenderGap List back into the party line I think it breaks all previous records by a long shot.
