This article is much more notable than the content provides. Will be adding more information. Clifford mcgraw (talk) 07:23, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

The lead section should be re-written, especially the second sentence, as it was plagiarized from the source. Clifford mcgraw (talk) 12:02, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Would like to change article title to Diversity in Computer Science. Clifford mcgraw (talk) 12:39, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Restrict opening statement to the U.S. being as though other countries may not have the same issues with their STEM pipeline. Clifford mcgraw (talk) 14:37, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Peer review

I think you made a very wise choice in topic as this is a very notable and topical issue to cover. The lead so far does a good job setting up a basic overview of the topic. The content also appears to be fairly neutral which is important when dealing with a topic like this. The sources include PDFs and .coms but after checking them they are trustworthy links to government backed policy research for the UK and US. The only issues as you already mentioned on the talk page are lack of content but I know you're going to inevitably add more information to page. I also would like to suggest organizing the article by how computing affects each little ethnic demographic under separate sub headers with other stats that you have. Otherwise I think the article with your improvements is going to be a nice new addition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jcbreur84 (talk • contribs) 19:19, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

statistics are misleading

The statistics are comparing the percent of total population by ethnic group against the employed percentage. This is misleading and the should be compared against the percent of the working population. 86.168.198.68 (talk) 12:14, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Bibliography

Corbett, C., & Hill, C. (2015). Solving the equation: The variables for women's success in engineering and computing. AAUW.

• With reference to a broad and varied collection of studies, Solving the Equation examines recent research on the causes of the inadequate representation of women in the STEM fields. This research investigates various factors, such as stereotypes, prejudices, college curricula, and the working environment.

National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT). (2019). (publication). Intersectionality in Tech 101.

• The concept of intersectionality is crucial and indispensable in devising successful initiatives to expand the involvement of women and girls in computing. This source offers an introduction and summary of the concept, along with important readings and resources concerning women and girls from diverse ethnic backgrounds in the fields of STEM and computing.

National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT). (2021). (publication). By the Numbers.

• The National Center for Women & Information Technology created an infographic with the most compelling statistics on women’s participation in computing.
