The resulting WikiProject was created at WikiProject Feminism

Description
A project to coordinate work on feminism-related articles. This is actually an upgrade request, as WikiProject Gender Studies/Feminism Task Force already exists but has outgrown the parent project and should be spun off into an independent child project. Kaldari (talk) 20:14, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

 * 5) Sure, I'll join.  Scartol  •  Tok  22:47, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) I would support this. Lumos3 (talk) 23:03, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) Good idea. --Danger (talk) 23:35, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) Thanks for the invitation. I don't really understand all the technicalities but will support anything that raises feminist presence here. Mgoodyear (talk) 01:16, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) Sure, seems there is enough interest and content work to be done for a full Wikiproject. --FloNight&#9829;&#9829;&#9829;&#9829; 01:27, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) Sure needs doing. Rebecca (talk) 02:10, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

 * 12) Awadewit (talk) 23:56, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) I support this.  I'm more interested in gender studies than feminism though, so I'm unlikely to join. --Alynna (talk) 10:51, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

 * 15) Seldom a better cause. AishwaryaJain (talk) 00:54, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 16) Strong support. I've seen a need for a feminism-specific WikiProject for a long time. I tried to gather interest for such a project a few years ago but failed miserably. The feedback I got dwelt on it being perceived as an advocacy group rather than an effort to improve articles in this area. Argh. Really wasn't my goal. I'll help.

 * 17) Of course I will! correogsk (talk) 08:26, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 18) Sounds like a good idea to me and I'll support it! FemWriter (talk) 08:04, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 19) Excellent idea. Support but unlikely to help. Kittybrewster  &#9742;  00:46, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 20) Long time needed... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 10:59, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 21) Seems like a good idea, certainly enough content.  Rockpock  e  t  22:28, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * 22) Definitely a good idea, I would join the WikiProject. › mys id  (☎∆✎) 08:12, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Discussion
This project was founded as a taskforce of WikiProject Gender Studies. I think it would be a good idea, however, for us to switch to being a child project rather than a taskforce. Firstly, this project operates mostly independently of WikiProject Gender Studies. I think most of the editors involved in this project tend to think of it as independent as there isn't much cross-communication with the main project as you see with other taskforces. Secondly, we miss out on a lot of services that are provided specifically for WikiProjects. Getting things like stats and alerts is a pain to set up if you're technically part of another WikiProject and live on a sub-page. Moving to our own page would make this much simpler. If there is consensus for such a move, I would be happy to handle all the heavy lifting. I can re-tag all of our articles with a bot and fix everything else by hand. Thoughts?

 * Hi Kaldari, looks to me like there is support for the idea. I need to look though my articles to see if there are some I started in March for US Women's History Month and neglected to label. FloNight&#9829;&#9829;&#9829;&#9829; 18:41, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool, I'll go ahead and make the template. Stay tuned... Kaldari (talk) 18:46, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
