[edit] Goals
This Wikiproject exists in order to facilitate the following:
- Discussion of exactly what a neutral point of view means with regard to gender
- To alert members to articles that are biased or that exhibit prejudice for or against a gender
- To cooperatively ensure neutrality in all articles that have to do with gender
- To discuss systemic bias in Wikipedia in regard to gender and what can be done to counter this bias

[edit] Neutralize vocabulary
- "Neutralize" the vocabulary of gender biased articles. The Wikipedia:Categorization/Gender, race and sexuality notes word usage that is particularly POV. Other words are frequently used in a generalizing way which usually also contains a POV (e.g.: calling all men chauvanists).
Such a clean-up would consist of:
-
- collecting not-NPOV words - best in subproject-article explaining why for each word
- linking this article to other articles regarding NPOV so it is accessible to the community
- cleaning up - article by article during article cleanup or word by word using word searches
[edit] Assessment
The Gender department to assess articles with which this project deals, and, if required, draw attention to articles which are in need of attention.
[edit] Tasks
- Identify articles with POV names for renaming. Look at the relevant talk pages.
