TaraElla
TaraElla is a classical liberal writer. She started the Wikipedia Equality project in April 2017. She is a Wikipedian herselfw:User:Taraella.
Values
TaraElla believes in the equality of people regardless of gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation. She believes that only classical liberal values will advance this equality, and to achieve liberty and equality, gatekeeping should be removed as much as possible throughout society. Note that, in TaraElla's articles, 'liberal' means classical liberal, 'social justice' has its classical liberal meaning, and 'feminism' means classical feminism, i.e. that of 19th-century thinker John Stuart Mill, for example.
Wikipedia Equality
TaraElla believes that Wikipedia Equality can only be achieved if the Notability Criteria is abolished. This stems from her belief that any gatekeeping is detrimental to true equality and inclusion.
