[edit] Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

[edit] Chrapliwy v. Uniroyal

This is a '82 case brought by US female factory workers under the '64 Civil Rights Act, suing for equal pay and representation. It was proposed for deletion. I've deprodded as my searches indicated notability, but I don't know enough about the case to edit the article. Can anyone at this project help improve it to avoid deletion?

[edit] AfD - child marriage

There is an AfD related to the subject area of this wikiproject - Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Child marriage in Judaism. (Child marriage in Judaism is female-specific) Newman Luke (talk) 22:33, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] “Sex”

Currently, Wikipedia has no article about sex, in the sense of a sexual physiological endowment. The article “Sex” concerns itself with the sexual process. The article “Sex (disambiguation)” seems to confuse “gender” with sexual physiological endowment; in any even, it provides a link to “Gender” as ostensibly concerning a primary meaning of “sex”, but not to an article on sexual physiological endowment. —SlamDiego_←T 14:51, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Okay, that's weird. At first I thought the article sex was about what I'd call "biological sex" -- the thing that, in humans, is about gonads and genitals and secondary sex characteristics. But it appears to be both about "having sex" in a broad sense, and about "biological sex"... It looks like the article about human biological sex is at Sex differences in humans. In some places, we seem to include biological sex as part of gender, calling it "biological gender" -- this is what the Gender article does. So we have the information, it's just hard to find. --Alynna (talk) 13:55, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Well,

• Having it hard to find is unacceptable.
• “biological gender” as a term for physiological endowment would be the sort of bilge written by pseudo-scholars who create a veneer of sophistication by obfuscation.

I hope that the members of this project — or at least someone — will fix this wretched mess. —24.255.26.9 (talk) 02:18, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
