the other two winners, male, had pages https://twitter.com/clancynewyork/status/1047098079097380864 https://twitter.com/clancynewyork/status/1047098079097380864, there's a broader argument about bias here
- basic1 8y agoI'd be curious who made those two or if it was themselves.
- yorwba 8y agoI think the strongest bias in this case is favoring advisors over the students who do the work, even if they get first authorship. For example, the Alex of AlexNet [1] fame would be Alex Krizhevsky, if he were actually famous. He doesn't have a Wikipedia page, but his advisor Geoffrey Hinton does (and is famous for the AlexNet breakthrough). [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlexNet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlexNet
- booleandilemma 8y agoHow can an encyclopedia that anyone can edit be biased? Anyone could have added her page, no one did, until now.
- cpeterso 8y agoSomeone created a wiki page for her back in May, but it was deleted because a Wikipedia editor decided she wasn't "notable". Anyone can edit Wikipedia, but it still has the bias of the most recent editor. https://twitter.com/resolvingdust/status/1047135142978801664 https://twitter.com/resolvingdust/status/1047135142978801664
- dbcooper71 8y agoThe editors didn’t think she was notable enough. This is an editing problem not a submission problem.
- tda 8y agoActually she had a page, but it was deleted. And then someone recreated the page, and it was rejected in review. QED
