are over six thousand articles related to the African diaspora; there's not a hundred at FA/GA grade and there's over twelve hundred that are unassessed. With Knowledge being one of the major information reference points in the world today we should consider this unacceptable. Much work needs to be done on the rating of the importance of articles as well. With more communication amongst participants and a dedication to addressing the articles on the to-do list I believe we can make this WikiProject one of the most well organized and thorough on the site. If you are interested in collaborative work with some of your fellow project members, have certain expertise on any particular subjects, ideals on/about the WikiProject, etc. simply drop your name under the "Project revision" section I've created on the project's talk page and state your intentions and main points of interest in our WikiProject and we can attempt to move forward from there. Hoping to hear from everyone soon!

let you gals run everything down here, and I’m sure all of us will agree that the world will be like unto a Garden of Eden, and all war and animosity will, like, just disappear once the dames are running the joint. But until then, might I remind you that Men still hold up half the sky. Dear Lizzard, while you might be the biggest fan of all things female, let me remind you that you do not, repeat NOT, actually OWN the subject of women. Any old poster, whether they be bequeathed a Charlie or a Chapel, can just write stuff on any subject they so choose to do, and should not be subjected to some nouveau Stalin who gets out the pinking shears whenever they read something that does not measure up to their strangulated world view.

You will not find the Guardian or Observer writing about "bogus asylum seekers" or "black-on-black violence". Disabled people (not "the disabled") are not "wheelchair-bound" and people with learning disabilities are not "handicapped". Nor will you find stories about ""career girls" or "battling grannies". We avoid racist, sexist and other inappropriate language not to be "politically correct" but to put our beliefs into practice in the most important work we do - reporting. 2223: 3115:. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $ 1000-1500 is possible for prize money.

police", either. For example, if an article on Hillary Clinton described her with a misogynist term, wouldn't you think that should be edited out for reasons of not being at all relevant or accurate? Would you think it fine to refer to a person of color with a derogatory and out of date term? It is the same in my eyes. It is not "encyclopediac" or good journalistic practice to be offensive.
