Atlantic monthly, "gamer reaction" to Microsoft appointment

As I mentioned to OrangeMike on a Wikimedia mailing list, I think the coverage in her bio of the "gamer reaction" to her appointment over the Xbox unit at Microsoft may be giving it undue weight. It's a pretty short bio, and including this right now is a little overkill unless it develops into something that gets more significant coverage in other media. Nathan 12:47, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

I agree and have removed it twice. There are barely any sources discussing it, even though plenty of sources discuss her appointment.--The Devil's Advocate _{tlk. cntrb.} 17:19, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

It's hardly undue weight if it's the only significant thing that has happened since her very recent appointment to that post. Gamaliel (talk) 17:25, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Except you have only a handful of sources talking about it relative to those discussing her appointment. Clearly it is not a very significant aspect of the appointment. I think it is quite absurd to not even mention the professional and expert reactions, yet devote so much attention to the ramblings of a few random nobodies on the Internet.--The Devil's Advocate _{tlk. cntrb.} 22:40, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

You're welcome to add professional and expert reactions, I think it's an excellent idea. The point isn't to highlight "random nobodies on the Internet", the point is the reaction which is a reflection of widespread gamer misogyny, an issue that is getting more and more RS coverage.
