Talk:Women, girls and information technology

message: Women In Computing is a different subject matter than Women, girls and Information Technology. The two should not be combined.
Women In Computing is about significant individuals in computing/IT. That article is OK and should be left alone. Women, girls and Information Technology is mostly about a current issue in society today - why girls/women are not going into IT related fields, and the social reasons for and ramifications of this. This article should be cleaned up - ideas: (a)remove the references to significant women in the field of IT, and place them in the "Women In Computing" article if they are not there already - keep the articles crossreferenced (b)consider renaming the article - something short, but the title right now is not very illuminating (c) add any positive material possible (examples: if there are lots of opportunity to excel in IT for a woman right now because it is a male dominated field or if there are any programs out there to mitigate this problem)

message: I'm proposing that Declination of women in computer science in Canada be merged into this article.  The content seems to fit, some is duplicated, and I don't think that the decline of women in CS in Canada (as much as I am personally interested in the topic as a Canadian computer scientist) needs its own article.

thread_title:  Merge: [[Declination of women in computer science in Canada]] 

message: I really like this article but want to see it renamed to something more appropriate for the content, which mostly concerns the reasons behind the low numbers of women involved in CS and IT.  Chanvin2 suggested "Gender disparity issues in Computing" but it's not quite right.  Other suggestions? Leigh Honeywell (talk) 04:34, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rename to something more descriptive of the content 

message: I changed the section title Lack of Opportunity? Lack of Interest? Lack of Awareness? to Lack of Educational Opportunities, Interest and Awareness because I felt it better refelected the content of that section.  I also deleted a paragraph that was not cited properly and seemed more like a personal reflection.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MeaghanN23 (talk • contribs) 13:21, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Change of Title for Lack of Opportunity? Lack of Awareness? Lack of Interest? 

message: I added the section Changing the Gender Disparity, last Tuesday because I felt this article needs to show how this issues of gender in information technology is being addressed within the field. This helps give a broader understanding of the importance women have in IT. Vjordan87 (talk) 15:53, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
