Marketplace feminism[edit]

Hello. I'm not sure if you are following this discussion at Professor K-B's Wikipedia Talk page regarding the Feminism article. I had to revert the section about "Marketplace feminism" that was added to the Feminism article, for reasons I explained at that discussion and at Talk:Feminism. I assume you write that section of the article, is that correct? If you did, please post it while logged in to Wikipedia as yourself; currently, the History of the Feminism article shows it as having been posted by User:ChutneyPower.

Wikipedia's Username policy on shared accounts says this:

Any user account should represent an individual and not a group. ... Sharing an account – or the password to an account – with others is not permitted, and evidence of doing so will result in the user being required to stop the practice and change their password, or in sanctions (up to and including the account being blocked), depending on circumstances.

I believe it's not forbidden for one user to post content created by someone else (as long as they are not attempting to evade a block or other sanctions), but if ChutneyPower is posting content written by you, then they become responsible for it, wrt attribution of the content, as well as for any issues incurred by its addition. It would be better for you to post your own material under your own name.

You might also want to check out the the Wikipedia:Gender gap task force and WP:Women in red, for improving biographical coverage of notable women, as well as WikiProjects such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Women and WikiProject Feminism. Feel free to reach out here, or on my Talk page, or at the WP:Tea house or WP:Help desk if you have any questions about a particular article, or about editing Wikipedia in general.
