Hi Yaris, thanks for your edit on the jobs list. I've left it in, but the reason Roberta suggested writing a biography of a locally significant woman was to help take on the gender gap that exists on Wikipedia. I hpe you can understand the motivation for the original idea. [[User:Stevie Benton (WMUK)|Stevie Benton (WMUK)]] ([[User talk:Stevie Benton (WMUK)|talk]]) 09:40, 3 November 2014 (GMT)

:I understand.  I think increasing the number of women with biographies is a fine motivation.  But I thought the more inclusive wording would encourage people towards this end just as much, but also encourage other biographies.  [[User:Yaris678|Yaris678]] ([[User talk:Yaris678|talk]]) 10:48, 3 November 2014 (GMT)

Locally significant person v locally significant woman

Hi Yaris, thanks for your edit on the jobs list. I've left it in, but the reason Roberta suggested writing a biography of a locally significant woman was to help take on the gender gap that exists on Wikipedia. I hpe you can understand the motivation for the original idea. Stevie Benton (WMUK) (talk) 09:40, 3 November 2014 (GMT)

I understand. I think increasing the number of women with biographies is a fine motivation. But I thought the more inclusive wording would encourage people towards this end just as much, but also encourage other biographies. Yaris678 (talk) 10:48, 3 November 2014 (GMT)
