Proposals posted to the Gendergap mailing list without objections raised

  • Study other online communities that have sucessfully addressed gender imbalances.[1]
  • Ask chapters to compete to nurture the greatest number of female administrators.[2]
  • Improve articles on interesting women and womens' issues.000117.html
  • Bring all articles on birth control to featured status in all language wikipedias.[3]
  • Provide easily accessible contact information for people who are willing and able to mentor new contributors. (And related proposals which the English Wikipedia is upholding to some extent.)
  • Demote Wikipe-tan from English Wikipedia mascot to WikiProject Anime mascot, replacing her with Puzzly.[4]
  • Support a multilateral tax haven treaty in the US and any other countries that might still be opposing one.[5]
  • Less javascript for mobile devices.[6]
  • Remove WP:NOTHOWTO because it is used to argue against topic notability but is not well respected.[12]
