> “People assume girls don’t choose science because they’re not inspired,” Wade, 33, said in a recent interview. “Girls are already interested. When I worked in the math department, most scientists were male. However, the biology and chemistry departments had way more female scientists than male. So how does this correlate that "the science does not inspire girls"? TBH, I'm happy we have listed lesser-known scientists on Wikipedia, no matter what gender they are, but there should be some line. In the science community, a number of citations or h-index show how productive you are, and those above some X value should have a place in Wikipedia. Gender neutral, of course. Also, the article dabbles between girls and students of color - is this about women scientists, a clickbait article, or does the author have some identity crisis? As someone said here, she is hurting Wikipedia's credibility. Recently I spoke with some high schoolers about "how they are lucky to have Wikipedia these days" and they mentioned that their teachers are actively dropping Wikipedia as an information source for being too unreliable. So I'm guessing, inflating numbers to prove something doesn't benefit anyone in the long run.
