[edit] Articles in need of Action

Bride burning: A serious problem of WP:V, and WP:SYNT here and urgent need for references and reliable research.Cailil

Feminism: Article mainly composed of stubs. Also May need to be re-entitled "Feminisms".Cailil

Gender Studies: Need for development and expansion.Cailil

Gender-neutral language: Needs serious sourcing and a major clean-up.Cailil 20:07, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Pro-feminist men: A really terrible article - without references or NPOV - needs complete rewrite.Cailil 20:07, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

National Commission for Women (India) , Save Indian Family, Girija Vyas. Two of these articles are about notable feminist organizations in India and one abt a non-notable anti-feminist organization. They have been edited exhaustively by User:My Wikidness who, IMHO, has been filling them with some pretty horrendous sexist and anti-feminist bias by wrong citations and biased non-notable citations that I feel should be looked at by interested ppl for NPOV'ing.

• Occupations, gender roles, and women's history - I drafted this much-needed article and it was promptly tagged original research (6 minutes after posting the item, tagged stub). I've been adding some of the numerous cites available on the topic. Please feel free to help out. Basically this is the beginning of a longer project to write articles on the history of gendering within particular professions and occupations. --Lquilter (talk) 17:31, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

• Ancient Greece - barely mentions women at all. veracity-or-mendacity (talk) 01:39, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

• ecofeminism - Currently reads like a term paper by a student who mistakenly believes that the few sources s/he has read accurately represents the breadth and focus of an entire field of inquiry. Unattributed assertions throughout. Many important trends left out while minor topics are highlighted. This article needs a top-to-bottom overhaul. I can help but don't have the time to do it on my own. Rentstrike (talk) 17:39, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

• Goddess movement - seems to have been written by muddle-headed new-agers all trying to push their own agenda, mostly based on primary sources with very poor citations. There's a complete lack of separation between the beliefs of the adherents and the description of the social phenomenon, alongside a lack of critical viewpoints from serious feminists. --Davémon (talk) 18:43, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

regarding something that itself is in regard to mothering/housewifery/domesticity. I've tagged an article I'm working on, "List of parenting bloggers," as being related (at least tangentially?) to gender studies, since it deals in great part with people who care for other family members at home and, after all, the larger proportion by far of such caregivers is women. Any advice and direction -- even forceful re-direction, I suppose! -- that anybody could give me related to this topic would be graciously appreciated.The following note has to do with my status vis-a-vis feminism (although I don't know if a proclamation such as this is the norm on this page or not!) I'd probably not be classed as somebody who has ever been on the barricades for feminism but if I were to stop and try to consider whether I would be either pro or anti feminist, I'd probably think pro (probably not too strongly in the "anti-sex feminist" column though. ↜Just me, here, now … 13:09, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, I have taken note of the slant of this NYT article. ↜Just M E  here , now 14:43, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi Justmeherenow, you'd be better placing this notice on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Gender Studies - I'm not sure how many other users are watching this page watched.
I personally wont be able to look at this for a few weeks but when I have time I will drop by--Cailil ^talk 14:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

I look forward to your looking into the article, Cailil. And I'll try that board. Thanks! ↜Just M E here , now 09:08, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Please help

Kim Chernin could do with some decent sources. --John (talk) 01:10, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
