Women in computing and Women in computer science. Women in computing is for programmers and the like, computer science is more for researchers. --Henriettapussycat (talk) 16:00, 13 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Women is not an adjective. The current title sounds awkward. Move to either "women in computer science" or "female computer science" Ticklewickleukulele (talk) 02:31, 27 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

You are correct that it is not an adjective. The title phrase is a compound noun. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:58, 27 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
It just sounds kinda odd. Ticklewickleukulele (talk) 16:42, 28 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Where are all the names going?? edit

I'm reading a book, "Mining Social Media" that references this page.

In the book's examples, it shows a list of 382 prominent women in computer science. Yet, on the current list... There are only 67?

Is someone deleting these references to discriminate against women in computer science? Is someone trying to protect women in computer science by making them harder to look up on Wikipedia?

I couldn't figure the right place to go about this, which is why I posted it, here.

@MarkBelain: This is a category page, not a list article. Categories are used to organize Wikipedia articles and are not meant to be stand-alone lists in their own right. In the meantime, you might check the subcategories - for instance, the "American women computer scientists" subcategory alone contains 438 pages.
