Looking for feedback on a tool on Visual Editor to add open license text from other sources

Hi all

I'm designing a tool for Visual Editor to make it easy for people to add open license text from other sources, there are a huge number of open license sources compatible with Wikipedia including around 9000 journals. I can see a very large opportunity to easily create a high volume of good quality articles quickly. I have done a small project with open license text from UNESCO as a proof of concept, any thoughts, feedback or endorsements (on the Meta page) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Wikimedia Sweden image project

One of the images of the volunteer model Juno

Hi, everyone.

Wikimedia Sweden recently finished an image project. The goal has been to produce photos of volunteer models illustrating underwear and human bodies that are not stereotypically while, male, slim, etc. I got the idea for the project after I noticed the almost complete lack of non-sexist imagery of women's bodies at Commons. I was project coordinator during the initial phases and Sara Mörtsell at Wikimedia Sweden has been the project manager. Ina Bäckström handled media coordination in the startup phase and User:Josve05a has assisted with technical know-how on Commons. The project was funded as part of a grant from the Swedish Agency for Youth and Civil Society. We hired Tomas Gunnarsson, a well known feminist and gender rights activist in Sweden, as our photographer. Everyone of us participated with input or selection of models.

The images that have come out of the project can be found in the Commons category Category:Uploaded via Campaign:Normprojekt. We tried our best to find as varied models as possible in terms of gender identity, race, age and body type. In the linked category there are 125 photos of six models of various colors, ages and shapes. All of them are volunteers that have agreed to the terms and conditions involved in having photos of themselves published under a free license.

Everyone who's been active in the project is hoping these images can be used to diversify our illustrations of human bodies on Wikipedia. I've already included a few of the images in articles like foot, fist and sports bra. Please feel free to spread them wherever you feel they are relevant.

Request for comment

There is currently an ongoing RfC on Talk:Same-sex marriage that may be of interest to this project. Thanks. TimothyJosephWood 12:40, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Australian women researchers

FYI, there seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding at ANI, over a group who made a push to develop a range of articles on female Australian scientists (with mixed success). Figured it would be a good show of solidarity for their efforts to help them out. A list of articles can be found on the ANI link above. Anyone who wants to pitch in is of course more than welcome.

Inclusion of victim hotlines in external links

Menstrual Technology page with focus on technologists

I have noticed that on the project requested articles page there's at least 2 dozen menstrual technologists. Perhaps instead of waiting for an individual article to be created for each, they can have a section on a Menstrual technology page. There can then be a category of articles to be created from existing sections (if enough material is sources). I.am.a.qwerty (talk) 05:38, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Curious

There appears to be a bit of a conflict regarding the struggle to combat gender bias and some of the actions WP indirectly rewards by publishing and/or recognizing material from mysoginistic countries. Are we not in essence acknowledging/perpetuating/advancing mysoginistic causes, and by doing so, ignoring the very biases this project is struggling to overcome? I'm curious to know the project's position and what we can hope to achieve in the gender bias struggle if we're validating information as "encyclopedic" knowing it originates from such countries. I realize WP is not an advocacy but should we ignore our obligation to humanity? Again, just curious. ^{Atsme📞📧} 15:58, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
