A former employee of Wikipedia’s parent company has filed a federal lawsuit alleging she was fired after reporting her direct supervisor for gender discrimination and harassment.
The woman, Kayla Mae, was hired by the Wikimedia Foundation in November 2022, where she worked as a software engineer for nearly two years.
Her role allowed her to work remotely from Texas, and she was assigned to work on a team managed by Dennis Mburugu, a Wikimedia employee based in Kenya.
Within the first few months of her employment, she encountered problems with Mburugu, according to her complaint. Among other things, Mburugu asked her inappropriate questions about her sexual identity — she is a transgender female — and inquired about her medical history, Mae wrote in the complaint.
But MSN is not a source, it’s just collecting things from other places, there is zero quality assurance from being on MSN.
On the original source you can read about the author. And the site seem pretty legit to me.
I wouldn’t say MSN isn’t a source but I see what you mean about the author info at the bottom. Looks like I also missed the part at the top of the MSN link that said it was originally posted at TheDesk, so I guess it is legit. I’d only searched up other sources just to cross-check the original to see if more than one outlet was talking about it and check its validity, so either way yeah it checks out.
Searching other sources is absolutely a great idea, also because this doesn’t sound like how Wikipedia would normally behave.
But considering MSN is a copy of the original, I wouldn’t consider it another source in this case.
But that’s probably because you rushed it a bit. If you had found a true 2nd source, that would have been stellar.
