Is Gender bias on Wikiquote something #SheSaid is trying to address by increasing the number of women who edit Wikiquote or just by adding more quotations from women onto Wikiquote? I haven't seen any official statement saying one of the purposes of #SheSaid is to address a gender gap in editors and would like to see one. Of those two forms of gender bias, it seems like the more difficult one to effectively measure progress on and demonstrate that progress, it is complicated by whether the percentage of people willing to divulge personal details about themselves like their gender to Wikipedia's surveys has gone up or down, and whether that information is accurate. It's odd that no one on RationalWiki ever questioned the reliability of Wikipedia's surveys when no outside source has ever confirmed their findings, that hardly seems skeptical and doesn't place much value in peer review.

Good news and bad news women stubs
We now have 807 pages about women listed in Category:Women stubs. Just wondering if any of the participants of Shesaid are using this list to add quotes, correct issues, etc?
An example of a recurring issue is using unnecessary parentheses in DEFAULTSORT statements. The incorrect use of DEFAULTSORT causes categories associated with the page to be sorted incorrectly.
Please do not hesitate to ask any questions. You can use the [reply] button at the bottom right of this message to post. Thanks in advance, Ottawahitech (talk) 14:35, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
Gender bias on Wikiquote
Is Gender bias on Wikiquote something #SheSaid is trying to address by increasing the number of women who edit Wikiquote or just by adding more quotations from women onto Wikiquote?
