She’s a badass.

Fuckin good on 'er

Sure, but I write 1,000 wiki bios for women I don't know and I'm a "creep".

She heard one too many sci-bros say, "Aw, c'mon. Marie Curie, sure but that's it."
EaNasirIsABastard
*female scientists, woman isn't an adjective you can't say "that scientist is woman". Or academic women if you prefer.

How much have you donated to maintain Wiki? I'm at $27 so far this year. $1/reference. Mostly US National Park references

Wayne Wade ? Niceee
JericoJones23
Good on her! I always enjoy the google banner thing when they bring unkwon female scientists to the front.

in here, wikipedia mods are so toxic they don't let you write biography about anyone they don't personally know. "not notable" they say
mygomjabbar
sometimes they don't let you write biographies for people they don't like either.

Rosalyn Franklin? Lise Meitner?

Editors tried to delete some entries, ridiculous, if look which men have pages. Jess' efforts are amazing and utterly necessary!
djjeck
They deleted some pages I had created for minor celebrities. They can be quite aggressive
Jbelkin
And she resisted creating one for Holden McGroin …
zonide
prolly just a typo but... its unstoppable force...
Magnivore
Is someone going to try to pull a 'oh she looks like she would do that' comment like they did with the gentleman?

People who produce proper Wikipedia content are the mortar that holds civilization together.
Youhavinagiraffe
Them and the people who keep open source software programmes updated
gtollie
Agreed .. and both are locked in to vote for Trump in 24. /s
quzar
And the people that update forum posts when they find an answer to their question.
HighExplosivesSolveEverything
Met her irl. Fantastic speaker, very knowledgeable.
Look2urleft
Her Wikipedia entry. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jess_Wade
SkamanSam
The uni i attended had strict plagiarism rules and a lot of my profs corrected historical attribution. It was eye-opening.
zFUBARz
Actually had a prof that had us edit poor wikipedia articles regarding the field for bonus marks. Good idea really. Good on this lady!
JericoJones23
Same here, only with writing a new article. I am the auther of the article for Soil Aggregates in my language! (sorry girls, i'm married)
Zulljin4
Can't we just learn about soil aggregates without boning? Or is the subject just THAT erotic?
emjay9010
Soil aggregates = dirty... So, so dirty.
JericoJones23
Yup. Makes any person who speaks about it basically irresistible. How do you think i got my wife to marry me?
TheFastpaws
Pretty nifty!

Bill Nye on Netflix called out Watson and Crick for ignoring Rosalind Franklin's contribution to the double helix of DNA.
afatrollofmyown
A real life Velma! Way to be, Jessica!
MostlyDinosaurs
Get her a statue
Acc87
...for what? Doing exactly what thousands of other wiki writers do? Article is just pandering.
MostlyDinosaurs
onlyhalfghost
actually a great idea, given the contributions they've made to accessible knowledge. Let's replace more racists with 'em
SpaceWeatherMan
Great for her! Did she update it on her Wikipedia page?
MrKnowItAll1903
What is her Wikipedia "name"?
GNiko
At least in the olden days you weren't supposed to edit your own Wikipedia page.
Ruderali
[citation needed]
SpaceWeatherMan
Oh. I learned something new today. Thank you.
HandoB4Javert
[edited for accuracy]
Arcian
IIRC you can't even be used as a source by someone else asking you directly, sources have to go through a 3rd party.
onlyhalfghost
technically that's true everywhere, Wikipedia doesn't allow primary sources
Raizioo
That was a nice subplot in Newsroom.
UsernameMayBeSubjectToChange
I hope she reinstated the erased pages
enybi
No idea about all of them but she won the Clarice Phelps one and it has stayed up
KilliK69
doubtful. Wiki has specific rules on who is eligible to get his own article. being member of a team for an obscure discovery doesn't cut it.
tillie350
If they have a wiki page for a small game nobody liked, they should include people who discover a new element.
IAmASentientWaffle
their* own article
tibbs3d
Adding a new entry to the periodic table is obscure? Damn. That makes me sad.
KilliK69
it's not. that's why everyone here already knew about it.
enybi
So all pages on subjects you don't know about already should be deleted? Do you have any idea what an Encyclopedia is?
justiPumpkinTaker
There are only 118 elements. How many have you discovered or classified? It is a notable discovery. New elements are incredibly rare
Hemelsblauw
What happened to the deleted parts? Did they restore them?
ByomsandRalphie
Wiki editors have been notoriously misogynistic, often deleting entries for being too short despite shorter articles exist not about women
LinksRudeAwakening
I sure hope so!
westellar
The article suggests they did.
MrKnowItAll1903
What is her Wikipedia "name"?
Lifk
Depends. Sometime, short 3 line article about someone nobody knox have no reason to exist.
cryptzicle
Hopefully your obituary has 4 lines then.
EaNasirIsABastard
Have you ever seen an encyclopedia? Three lines is kind of long for a person.
Hemelsblauw
Actually they do, because I want to learn about things and people I don't yet know.
tito9177
Just like this comment?
HalfPintKatie
But if they contributed something to society, then those 3 lines SHOULD exist.
doesntmatter
It's not supposed to be an encyclopedia of everything, and from how often they beg me for money, they are already not doing well economicall
RunanD
They are actually extremely ahead of schedule on payments and can run off their current funds for decades to come. Look it up.
doesntmatter
...have I been tricked?
pandajack
Yes. And what's the harm? Disk space?
Rage3
Well, yes. If you'd do an encyplopedia of everything publically made by everyone it'd be unsustainable. It's also backup storage and more...
Bokse
I think you are overestimating how expensive disk storage is.
Schlumpfi
the german wikipedia is worse, let me tell you. Even important stuff is removed because "only locally relevant", its a cesspool
CannotBeBanned
It's why I stopped using it. None of them are perfect, but English wiki is easily better
Mikaru86
Dieser Kommentar erfüllt nicht die Relevanzkriterien. Bitte löschen, danke.
JacarandaTree36
Same with Finnish Wikipedia. There's also rampant misogyny in Wikipedia, also on the English site.
vanderwurst
Schrebergartenkultur at its finest :) Also true for German forums, subreddits, and usenet groups (yes, I'm old)
Mikaru86
Dazu gabs schon nen Thread. Bitte SuFu benutzen. Ich mach hier dann mal zu.
DoomKitty01
I've seen the Böhmermann show about it. "Worse" is a pretty polite description :D
Schlumpfi
I'm german, we are always polite, aren't we? ;-)
DoomKitty01
Actually...no :D
