SheSaid 2024 Event in Nigeria

Hi Community Members, I am writing formally to notify the community of my project proposal which aims to bridge gender gap by ensuring the quotes of notable female leaders are documented on Wikiquote. My project proposal aims to drive transformative change by amplifying women's voices and their political achievements on Wikiquote through the Shesaid campaign.

Hello @Akintundedaniel;

Thank you for your information. Is there any news on that? Otherwise can I please get your email and Telegram so I can add you to the list of organizers?

Grants link

Is there a link to the grants that were made? Perhaps on the Foundation wiki? --Pmsyyz (talk) 16:18, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Pmsyyz,

All WMF grant requests (open, funded, not funded, etc) can be found under the Grants space here on Meta. I personally always find it a bit difficult to trace how many local grants were awarded to support a specific theme or activity, since the grants are mainly awarded per region. The international coordination for the SheSaid drive, and the more broader Wiki Loves Women initiative are both organized through the general support grant for Wiki in Africa.

Does Wiki love men?

this seems kinda sexist, does wiki not love men? Panthers22 (talk) 17:07, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

I am quite sure the 80% men in our movement are kinda okay with it as is: it's the lower percentage of women portrayed and participating that need our explicit attention. Ciell (talk) 12:06, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

We'll I'm a man and I feel loved by Wiki. Pitstop Pop (talk) 18:01, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

I don't think Wikipedia has done anything to suggest that. (Organising a event for visibility of women don't count) Caesarian Cobol (talk) 05:28, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

Other genders
