New page on climate change and gender
[edit]Feel free to comment on my proposed page here! :) The content is in my sandbox right now.
Hej Weatherby551, I am studying MSc "Environmental Studies and Sustainability Science" at Lund University. As part of a Seminar on "Gender and Sustainability" I would like to edit your article on "Climate Change and Gender". I would leave all your content intact but add some sources, restructure the page and add some more content, especially regarding the following topics: 1. Importance of Gender in terms of Climate Change adaptation and mitigation, 2. Gendered Perception of Climate Change 3. Gendered contributions to Climate Change, 4. Gender in Climate Change research. Furthermore I would like to edit the "policy" part so it does not only entail effects of policy on gender but also gendered power structures within decision-making bodies and processes. Lastly, I think it may be a good idea to include the topic in the general "Gender" and "Climate Change" Articles (I head problems finding this article!). Since I've got the impression that this is virtually "your" article, I would like to ask for permission befor editing it. Thanks a lot! - Theo-bromin
P.S.: If you want to discuss this personally, send an email to theoaalders@yahoo.de

Wiki Loves Pride 2014
[edit]Hi Weatherby. In case you are not aware, there is an upcoming campaign to improve coverage of LGBT-related topics on Wikipedia, culminating with an international edit-a-thon on June 21. See Wiki Loves Pride 2014 for more information. If you are interested, you might consider creating a page for a major city (or cities!) near you, with a list of LGBT-related articles that need to be created or improved. This would be a tremendous help to Wikipedia and coverage of LGBT culture and history. Thanks for your consideration, and please let me know if you have any questions! --Another Believer (Talk) 18:03, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Invitation
[edit]Have you heard of the Kaffeeklatsch? It is a test area for women to hear and support each other. The idea came about as a result of a discussion at meta regarding my IdeaLab proposal (yet open) for WikiProject Women.
Now that the klatsch has survived an MfD and WMF legal has said that it does not violate the non discrimination policy,[1] I am looking for women editors who might like to join.
Although I have started a couple of discussions, they are not urgent. For now, the "Please introduce yourself" discussion is more important! I want to take it slow at first and build a small group before trying to address heavy topics or come up with big goals. For now, the klatsch is there as a sort of refuge. I hope you will consider joining, and invite other women editors, too, if you wish. Lightbreather (talk) 21:04, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Survey about How Historical Knowledge is Produced on Wikipedia
[edit]Hi Weatherby551,
I am Petros Apostolopoulos, a Ph.D. candidate in Public History at North Carolina State University. My Ph.D. project examines how historical knowledge is produced on Wikipedia. If you are interested in participating in my research study by offering your own experience of writing about history on Wikipedia, you can click on this link https://ncsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9z4wmR1cIp0qBH8. There are minimal risks involved in this research.
If you have any questions, please let me know. Petros Apostolopoulos, paposto@ncsu.edu Apolo1991 (talk) 15:57, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
