"no active women editors from this country" - I suppose this applies to English Wikipedia, but definitely not all other language versions. There are some active women editors in Estonian Wikipedia, and one of them belongs to the three-member board of Wikimedia Eesti. --Oop 14:13, 3 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

This is not good at all. Really.
Estonia accounts for 14.5% of all traffic to Voro Wikipedia -- this not logical. People outside Estonia don't speak it. This is a dialect of Estonian / language spoken in Southern Estonia.
On Spanish Wikipedia, there are 2 articles about models from this country. -- why is this important?!?
no female administrators on English wikinews from this country -- well, there isn't any male administrators either. Estonians are not active in Wikinews.
On English Wikisource, there are no female bureaucrats from this country -- we have our own Wikisource!
And I could continue as this is totally nonsense. "no female bureaucrats" etc. in a project where there are no Estonians anyway. Nice list.
Just for you to know: 5 wikipedians among the top 10 users according to the number of edits in Estonian Wikipedia are female. That is probably one of the highest % there is. Kruusamägi 14:03, 4 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
Hi, Oop and Kruusamägi, that's why I posted in et.wikipedia, to encourage awareness from Estonian users to start editing this page. Yes, this page is still need a lot of revision and I guess Estonian users are the one who know best what happen in your own Wikipedia or Wikimedia community. I really appreciate all your help to improve this page. WikiWomenCamp organizers have a plan to compile the women perspective by countries and make it into a book (please refer here for the details). Here is some example of information that we want to added into the perspective page, but we have difficulties to find the information.
And we are also wondering if there's Estonian women who wants to participate and come to WikiWomenCamp in Argentina. Please leave a message in my talk page if you need any other information. Thank you very much!--22Kartika 14:53, 10 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
I changed couple of things but this is still in a bad shape.
I took out Ewe Wikipedia -- this has to be some abnormality or mistake.

Can you help us to add some information about women history in Estonia, like written in Algeria perspective page? It might be interesting :)--22Kartika 08:24, 11 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

I could try but unfortunately, I don't belong to the right sex. So my contribution might be considered irrelevant or even harmful, depending on the reader's point of view. (Just a disclaimer.) --Oop 19:53, 13 February 2012 (UTC)Reply
