Not a review. Just noting that you could use the new image for a hook image if you like. Bremps... 07:02, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notability for dummies

I 100% agree with your overriding of the AfC declination. That was by an editor who I have noticed sometimes does AfC reviews outside their knowledge base, which is prone to error.

That said, I think the article could do with a little "notability for dummies" additions so people who have no clue about Linux understand better. Maybe mention what parts she manages in a way that non-experts understand? (I did not find awards, and her single publication looks weak.) Ldm1954 (talk) 19:25, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's also frustrating because we acknowledge as a project that there is a gender gap, and we acknowledge that part of our gender gap can be blamed on the fact that the media has a gender gap in coverage of women compared to men with the same accomplishments. But, yet, individual editors still don't register those personal and systematic biases when reviewing notability. It's frustrating. Then when a knowledgable person gets frustrated and lashes out, we are more concerned with civility than building an encyclopedia. It really makes this project sometimes feel like it's just a video game to new page patrollers and AFC patrollers where they are just trying to get points for whacking a mole (or woman).

Ack on your other comments. I'll see what I can do on another date next week.--v/r - T P 19:57, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I dont offhand see the sexism here, what I do see is two AFC patrollers who seem to know little about Linux reviewing where that is core. In an ideal world we would be able to limit the patrol topics of users, but that is probably unrealistic. More than once I have found myself reviewing patrol decisions by others within my core competency and tagging, or a couple of times draftifying. So it goes.
