* Some women subjects have objected to, for example, detailed tracking of their relationship status in their Wikipedia article even if they are not notable for any reason related to their personal life (eg, they're known as the author of a book). Similar issues apply with the inclusion of statements about subject's sexual orientation.
* Biographies of women often use the subject's first name. In articles about men, when the subject is described as part of a couple (e.g. a married or dating couple), the wording will often be "subject's last name and partner's first name"
== Addressing the Gender Gap ==
Around 2010 it became widely known that only about 9% of Wikipedia editors were women. [[Sue Gardner]], at the time the Executive Director of the [[Wikimedia Foundation]], made a commitment to increase this to 25%.
Over the years various efforts have been made to increase women's participation in Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, including:
* [[Gendergap mailing list]]
* [[Feminist wiki edit-a-thons]]
* [[Wikimedia Inspire Campaign]]
* [[Wiki Women's conference]]
The [[Wikimedia Foundation]] also hosts interns from [[Outreachy]].
