Can someone explain what happened to the references?--Mgoodyear 20:10, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
I've removed the following part of a sentence:
"lady with ponytail and protective helmet to warn of ongoing road construction works"
The aforementioned sign will not be seen on the streets of Wien. It is part of an advertising campaign promoting the new signs. The city government cannot simply invent new street signs as the look of the street signs is prescribed by (road) traffic regulations (Straßenverkehrsordnung).
See this reference (in German): [1]
This page needs an overhaul. It consist of a definition and two disconnected cases, one of a city in Europe and one of a country in Asia.
What does it mean for a concept to occur? Marnanel 18:25, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Women and men? I do realize that the article's opening sentence is taken from an "official" UN definition of gender mainstreaming (repeated in toto further down the article) but, official or not, it's still nonsense - and dishonest nonsense at that. It's a non-definition. It's very meaninglessness might hint to those with some exposure to tranzi quango doubletalk that coded information is being conveyed but the wholly innocent reader can learn nothing at all about the nature of gender mainstreaming, and the opening sentences of Wikipedia articles should be aimed at the wholly innocent reader. So I have again deleted the "and men" from the opening sentence of this article. It's a small step towards clarity (the whole article needs rewriting) but, IMO, an essential one. That's all for now, ladies and gentlemen, women and men. Be nice to each other, pay your taxes. Vinny Burgoo (talk) 17:48, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
Thee should be comparisons between feminist economics and mainstream economics, so that possible criticisms might be detected. This is especially true since feminist economics are increasigly being blamed for the demographic and economic crisis in Europe and the United States, where feminist and anti-discrimination ideas have been implanted almost everywhere in the workplace.

On the 23 of September I added an important part on the major principles of gender mainstreaming. If anyone should erase the changes made, please explain on what grounds. Sincerely, Barak Pick —Preceding unsigned comment added by Barakpick (talk • contribs) 11:41, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for adding these principles – good job. Maybe it is time for another improvement and I am happy to contribute. Therefore, I would like to work on the following suggestions. The current introduction of the “Principles” section seems to imply that Lombardo and Charlesworth are the ones who brought forward these principles, while it seems that these objectives (or principles) have been introduced by the Beijing Platform for Action. Hence, I suggest that we could maybe start this section by mentioning the ideas of the UN, instead of immediately referring to Lombardo and Charlesworth – however I do think that we should keep these references. Besides that, I would suggest to more elaborate on these principles. It seems that the current structure is based on the work of Lombardo, consequently I was thinking to deviate a little more from this work of Lombardo. Maybe I can find some inspiration in the Beijing Platform for Action? First I was thinking to change the subsection based on the objectives set forward in the Beijing Platform for Action (Women and poverty, Education and training of women, Women and health, Violence against women, Women and armed conflict, Women and the economy, Women in power and decision-making, Institutional mechanisms for the advancement of women, Human rights of women, Women and the media, Women and the environment, The girl child), but maybe this is too much linked to the Beijing Platform for Action? Please feel free to share your opinion and thoughts. DewinneA (talk) 19:16, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
I also added some points concerning criticism on gender mainstreaming. Proper academic refrences were added (also to the previous part). As said before, please explain if one would choose to change or delete. Barak Pick
I want to begin writing the concept in Hebrew. Does anyone know how to technically allow a new language option for the concept?

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:20, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
I am planning to make some revisions to this article as part of a project of my Feminist Economics and Public Policy class.
I am thinking of adding something to the last paragraph of the introduction. Instead of merely mentioning the concept defined by ECOSOC, I would make clear that ECOSOC agreed on conclusions (1997/2) that established some important overall principles for gender mainstreaming.
I am as well thinking of revising the section on “Principles” (see reaction to “Requirements and Principles of Gender Mainstreaming” above).
I would like to add a subsection on the initiatives of the European Union. There are several initiatives in the context of EU. In a short introduction I will mention some of them (e.g., several women’s networks (WECF, EWL, etc.)). Then I would cover more expansively the experience of gender mainstreaming within the European Employment Strategy. Since 1997, the EU is promoting a system of policy-making that requires governments to adopt a gender-mainstreaming approach to major area of economic and social policy.
Please feel free to comment or make any suggestion.

Does anyone have a suggestion to add to this reference list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DewinneA (talk • contribs) 19:24, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi DewinneA,
I enjoyed reading your article and I think that it will be in great shape. You’ve added some very important content and your edits really help in building the article. I recommend that you expand a bit more on the section on “Principles” to build on this with additional sources; you could probably merge certain principles (example, “gender equality” and “prioritizing gender equality”). Please also consider sourcing for certain unreferenced sentences and also assess the neutrality of such statements. Also, try to break down the section on “Examples” so that the legal principles that you provide with respect to each jurisdiction can be more easily understood. Lastly, see if you can get creative with images. Otherwise, I think you’ve put in a great effort in your contribution and it really reflects in your article. Good luck for the final submission!

Hi! Great work so far. A few suggestions -- first, it might benefit in the future from a "process" or "strategy" section explaining how countries have formalized gender mainstreaming. Second, could Himmelweit's article on Gender impact analysis be a source for expanding some of the principles? Third, both the Nicaragua and UN Peacekeeping seem to suffer a bit from POV issues. Finally, I second the call for more images if possible -- though I'm sure it's challenging to find!! -- and would suggest some more cross-linking to other Wikipedia articles! Good luck!

Hi, Many thanks for your reactions, highly appreciated and very useful.
I am revising this article on Gender Mainstreaming and I think this section could be improved. However, I don't have relevant resources to revise this section. Maybe anyone can help to improve this section about Taiwan? Many thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by DewinneA (talk • contribs) 17:18, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi everyone, I added some references to the Vienna subsection. Does anyone have additional references to add? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by DewinneA (talk • contribs) 22:19, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
Under subsection "other criticism", the following is said: "When gender mainstreaming polices are drafted without consulting sections of the women’s movement (i.e. women’s rights civil society groups), they lack ground level-expertise. Policy decisions related to gender that are made without consulting sections of the women’s movement do not demonstrate a clear political willingness to addressing gender inequality. When institutions reach out to the women’s rights movement, it demonstrates transparency, inclusiveness, accountability and the implementation process is more likely to be monitored with diligence." I wanted to verify the reference stated, however without success. Could maybe someone check this? Many thanks! DewinneA (talk) 03:28, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
I wanted to learn something about the Gender Mainstreaming subject just because the term has been used many times in a late night tv discussion I was watching yesterday without explaining what it actually means.
After reading this Wikipedia page I have to admit I still do not feel I have got it. OK, I admit I am the one who failed here, but is not that so Wikipedia should serve uneducated readers first of all? ;)
I see the definition - it makes some sense to me - it is a theoretical phrase saying:
Whatever is going to be politically introduced as a rule, we should make sure it is not preferring men or women but it is done for prosperity of both genders (assuming the rule can imply differently depending on gender at all).
In case there is a kind of inherited inequality already, we are still allowed to help the poorer (i.e. 'positively discriminate' either women or men, but I take as a fact that women are the oppressed ones in most cases).
Something like that?
OK, assuming I understand the main point properly, still perceiving the article too vague to cover the big deal adequately, I have some questions/suggestions:
Gender Equality as a goal, request for assessing different implications depending on gender as a key approach - does it make ANY sense? Seriously, can it be explained?
Thanks.
