Talk:Meta:Editorial guidelines

Notes from off-wiki discussion

Not all points by me:

• one purpose of the wiki is to introduce geek women to tools, analysis and strategies (relatively) well known in feminism that can be useful to them
• in scope: summaries of and feminist analysis/critique of anti-feminist viewpoints
• out of scope: non/anti-feminist viewpoints not clearly marked as such and not accompanied by feminist critique
• out of scope: non/anti-feminist viewpoints stated as if they are the editorial position of the wiki
• "We do not maintain a neutral point of view; a feminist viewpoint being framed as the editorial point of view is specifically okay and encouraged; a non-feminist or anti-feminist viewpoint being framed as that is not okay"
• Basically "our feminism will be intersectional or it will be bullshit", with credit to Flavia Dzodan
• It's always very hard to draw the line around "geek", but maybe something about how we concentrate on feminist analysis of anything participants identify as "geeky" or "geek culture", rather than of all culture and society.
• I also wonder if we should have explicit positions on a few things. Eg: we are not sympathetic to TERF viewpoints, we are not sympathetic to health or body policing (some people do see this as feminist), others?

I think I've now merged in the points above and everything I can recall from that discussion. And yes, imho we could definitely use more points re: what we consider consistent with our view of intersectional feminism.

If anyone has any ideas re organization & sections, I'd love to see or hear them. I...mostly like how things sit right now? But it doesn't feel like everything quite fits together yet. ^_^; RickScott (talk) 13:55, November 16, 2013 (UTC)
